I think the suggestion is to just look in
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/notmuch/config (and maybe ~/.config/notmuch/config)
after ~/.notmuch-config if NOTMUCH_CONFIG isn't set.  I think that's
totally reasonable.

It's not all gui applications.  I see multiple non-gui apps storing
their config in there.  I would personally love it if everything
respected that standard.  It would clear up my home directory
significantly.

jamie.
