I often found people doing this running within a) their own superuser with
special GUCs set or b) using their own scripts which are setting
maintenance_work_mem accordingly.

Often people are very confused about the number of *_vaccum_* settings
already present: they sometimes have a really hard time to learn the
difference between manual and auto vaccum and the interaction of
default/inherited settings.

That said, having a separate setting would be consequent, but it seems to
me it's enough there to satisfy all needs, isn't it?
