I am totally open to that.

What would be great, would be to be able to build on top of the release 
handling. If the project uses Docker, then "make" should build the 
container and "make run" should run the container (instead of building 
the release and running it). Does that make sense?

If we do that, then the only other important thing is the 
bootstrap-docker target.

Looking at your code, it sounds like you would benefit greatly from 
having Relx configuration built into the Makefile instead of as a 
separate file. But that can come as a second step.
