Does this have to be a "struct strbuf", not "const char *"? The latter makes it clear that it will never change its value once you built it in disable_auto_maintenance().

This would then become something like

	if (!opts->ctx->config_parameters) {
		const char *old = getenv(CONFIG_DATA_ENVIRONMENT);
		struct strbuf params = STRBUF_INIT;

                if (old && *old)
			strbuf_addstr(&params, old);
		git_config_append_parameter(&params, "maintenance.auto", "0");
		git_config_append_parameter(&params, "gc.auto", "0");
		opts->ctx->config_parameters = strbuf_detach(&params, NULL);
	}
	strbuf_pushf(..., opts->ctx->config_parameters);
