Based on my limited understanding of the topic, I think that the way to
go would be to document how to do Torrent over I2P.

Some people started working on this a while ago task right now:

Did you check our I2P documentation. It might be outdated but should be
enough to get you started. Otherwise, please clarify what's outdated in
the documentation:

I'm in favor of documenting how to use Torrent over I2P, either in the
I2P page, in a subpage, or in the advanced topics section.
