mwbot allows bots to be configured using a mwbot.toml file. We want bots to be able to extend it for their own configuration. For example:
[custom] my_key = "foo" [custom.even_more] another_key = "bar"
We would store custom as Option<toml::Value>, and then add a function like Bot::get_custom_config<T: serde::de::DeserializeOwned>(&self) -> Result<T> to allow for getting the custom configuration while still being type-safe.
Also take a look at mwbot-rs's contributing instructions.

Hi! Thanks for your interest in mwbot-rs.
First of all, to let others know that you are working on this task, you should claim this task, by clicking "Edit Task" at the right of this page, and add yourself to "Assignee".
Then you need to clone the repository (if you does not have a WMF GitLab account, you can clone with HTTP before your account is activated) and make code changes.
The general idea of this task has been clearly explained in the description (if you still have other questions, you can ask here or just do as what you think is right).
To submit your code, you will need to request for an account on https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/ first, then make a merge request to https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/repos/mwbot-rs/mwbot .
Actually I am not able to make a account on https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/ as its showing
Your account is pending approval from your GitLab administrator and hence blocked. Please contact your GitLab administrator if you think this is an error.
@Nischay3333 There is a banner on top of gitlab.wikimedia.org which explains "How to register an account on GitLab."
What exactly is unclear with its content, so we could improve it?
btw it seems that the GitLab approval request queue is now suspended and requests are not being handled for unknown reasons (:
I came up with a solution and did these changes:-
but as I made a PR to the main branch it says Access denied
