I think it took me an hour or two (much less than previous sendmail.cf
hacking), with a major part of that time in spending to understand the
(not very exciting) README file.

UUCP feeds should be handled via the mailtertable feature. This is
how my uriah.mc file looks like:
include(`../m4/cf.m4')
VERSIONID(`$Id: uriah.mc,v 1.6 1995/02/23 18:14:53 j Exp j $')
OSTYPE(bsd4.4)dnl
FEATURE(nodns)dnl
FEATURE(nocanonify)dnl
FEATURE(mailertable)dnl
define(`confMIME_FORMAT_ERRORS', `False')
define(`confMESSAGE_TIMEOUT', `7d/3d')
MAILER(local)dnl
MAILER(smtp)dnl
MAILER(uucp)dnl
Op noreceipts
Cw uriah uriah.sax.de
Cw heep.sax.de
...and this is uriah's /etc/mailertable:
.tcd-dresden.de uucp-dom:bonnie
