What options do want to add? IMO, the best guideline is to avoid options and try to find it automatically. Most D3D options in the registry exist, because the D3D code is incorrect and needs tweaks for some games -> The best thing is to fix the code so it works without tweaks for all games :)
Well, while it's a worthy goal to try to auto-detect everything automatically, I think that to have best performance in all cases, configuration options are needed.
What people could work on is a centralized, WineHQ-managed database of options (some sort of Application Database but automated). Basically, people would connect to this database and get their Wine configuration automatically updated to get best performance on 'officially supported' games / applications.
The only real problem I would see with that scheme would be if multiple applications have the same name (like for example 'game.exe') as this would render the whole 'override' stuff useless.
