The way I propose to do it:
- Remove the support for the %n directives from all *printf* modules
by default.
- Add a new module 'printf-with-n-directive' that re-enables this support
in all these modules.
- Add a NEWS entry to notify the packages.
This way, most packages that use Gnulib *printf will be immune against
possible CVEs in this area.
I'm also considering making the same move in GNU libintl.

* m4/printf-with-n-directive.m4: New file.
* modules/printf-with-n-directive: New file.

variables.
* m4/vsnprintf-posix.m4 (gl_FUNC_VSNPRINTF_IS_POSIX): Likewise.
* lib/printf-parse.c (PRINTF_PARSE): If NEED_PRINTF_WITH_N_DIRECTIVE is
not defined, treat the 'n' directive like an unknown directive.
* lib/vasnprintf.c (VASNPRINTF): If NEED_PRINTF_WITH_N_DIRECTIVE is not
defined, disable the processing of the 'n' directive.
