Yeah, I agree this is an issue.

I am not sure what are the pros and cons of hardcoding vs config files
in this case.
My opinion is that config files would make it easier for people to
contribute what's needed for new tools, while hardcoding might make it
more easily extensible for us and might reduce backward compatibility
issues.

Thanks for your opinion on this. For now I think it needs to be
discussed more before we could suggest it as a project.
Best,
Christian.
