OK, here's where I leave this for while: input format, folder structure, and a code skeleton that works... for everything except the actual merge bit. You may want to expand the information passed through the functions to the merge logic, I kept it minimal so it doesn't seem to even hold folder variables.

I started working on a script to
A)Identify conflicting mod files based on a diff
B)Merge non-conflicting files.
The intent is to be two function that work on multiple versions of the same file.
A simple implementation of this would be to implement A as assuming any two non identical files are conflicting and B as moving the mod file to the generated mod. My script would be a drop in replacement for that.
If you start with the code above, you can just fill out the function "def mod_merge_logic(mod, mods_merged):" - which was the idea of posting it
However I think that passing arguments to these functions may actually be counterproductive, as you lose all the other variables that have been set up (like, eg, paths and number of mods already merged).
I plan on (sometime soonish I hope) fixing that, adding useful comments before that function explaining the variables you can use, and adding a flatten_raws function somewhere.
testbed mods
I just visited DFFD for a couple of mods, I think Rise of the Mushroom Kingdom as a major mod, Accelerated Modest Mod in the middle, and Eevee Fortress which just adds them as a playable civ. As noted above some mods require installation over vanilla before they're usable, but that's not much of a challenge.
manifest
Reading everything relevant to merge logic from the content is the plan, but an optional manifest is still nice for stuff like displaying the author and an update link, maybe a one-sentence summary of the mod, that kind of thing. Some fields can be autofilled from the raws / folder names / etc, but others need a human to write them.
