Some are less important in code comments, but majority of them are in user-facing places. I manually approved 60%+ of the changes and didn't see any that were an incorrect suggestion, at worst it was potentially uncessesary, like a code comment having cant instead of can't.

The hub.txt file informs the UCSC Browser where to find the underlying assemblies via the genomesFilegenomes.txt parameter, which in turn will direct the Browser to each assembly's related binary indexed track data outlined in the trackDb.txt. The optional descriptionUrl field allows you to add an HTML page describing your hub. See an example of a basic hub.txt file here.

    The trackDb.txt file uses stanzas for each track to inform the Browser of the name, type, location, and description of each binary file to display. The trackDb settings allow further display control such as by adding the line color255,0,0 to define a track's color. Each track type (bigBed, bigWig, bam, and vcfTabix) has further customizable trackDb settings. The bigDataUrl can be a -relative path to a local file or a publicly-accessibly URL that accepts byte-ranges. The trackDb.txt +relative path to a local file or a publicly-accessible URL that accepts byte-ranges. The trackDb.txt also allows for advanced track grouping known as composites, superTracks and multiWigs. See a basic example trackDb.txt.

    When type is set to bigBed, the track hub assumes that the bigBed track is BED3 by default. To allow track hubs to use all fields in the bigBed file, one must define how many columns to expect. For example, if a bigBed file has nine columns, which would include an itemRgb field to display a R,G,B color value (e.g. 255,0,0), specify the type as type bigBed 9. If the file contains the first 9 standard BED columns, one could use type bigBed 9 + to denote the additional non-standard columns as defined in AutoSql format (.as) file, -as=bedExample1.as.
