Hmmm. Not sure if it is a good idea to remove the handcrafted config file just because the package is being uninstalled. But of course, now that I think of it, once the RPM got uninstalled rpm will no longer show a file as belonging to this RPM, either.
This is one thing dpkg does better. It distinguishes between "uninstall" and "purge". "uninstall" keeps (modified) configuration files and "purge" wipes them out. I wonder if this was ever considered for RPM.
