I have org-footnote-section set to nil in my init.el.

If I export through the HTML or Tufte backends, my footnotes are not exported 
in a different section. However, with org-publish-project and with 
org-publish-project-alist having a value like -

(("project" :base-directory "/foo/bar/"
            :publishing-directory "/foo/bar/"
            :recursive t
            :publishing-function org-html-publish-to-tufte-html))

...a section called Footnotes is created.

I have also tried setting org-footnote-section to nil in a .dir-locals.el, in 
the Org file itself as #+OPTION: org-footnote-section:nil, and as a property in 
org-publish-project-alist (:org-footnote-section nil)
