Yeah, I'll put in a PR for my local Transmission config file and see how far that gets me ;)

Config files should be understandable and readable by the end users so they can customize their local installs.

This is silly. If an app like Transmission expects end users to modify a config file locally as the means to add customized settings, that’s a seriously bad design. Why not provide documentation about command-line arguments or ENV variables it would look for for end user customizeability. A settings file where you need to know the meaning as you read the file is among the worst ways to solve it.
