In autosummary, expose complete objtype information to templates about sphinx HOT 1 OPEN

I would like to second this proposal. We were trying to evaluate autosummary for Bokeh but it currently seems like a non-starter. Bokeh has custom documenter classes like:

class ModelDocumenter(ClassDocumenter):
    directivetype = "bokeh-model"
    objtype = "model"
    priority = 20

    @classmethod
    def can_document_member(cls, member, membername, isattr, parent):
        return isinstance(member, type) and issubclass(member, Model)

but autosummary hard-codes the objtype values it collects:

so all of our Model classes are completely ignored in the generated docs since their objtype is not 'class'.

I had intended to ask about a way to specify additional objtypes (which seems like it would solve our problem) but simply providing all the objtype information as proposed above would also provide a path for us to create usable templates.
