  Description     : Provides configuration file support for Click-based command-line interfaces.

python3-click-configfile is a Python module that enhances the Click command-line interface library by introducing support for configuration files. It enables developers to load application settings from INI-style configuration files, providing a flexible and user-friendly way to manage command-line options. The package offers features such as configuration file path resolution, option precedence, custom configuration classes, and type conversion, making it a versatile tool for creating configurable command-line applications.

Justification: This module will allow us to offload the complexities of configparser reading, schema handling, and potentially config writing for kimchi to a dedicated library.
This simplifies development, improves code maintainability, and reduces the potential for errors related to configuration file management.
By leveraging python3-click-configfile, we can focus on core application logic while ensuring robust configuration handling.

The team this will be a part of/maintainer is still being decided.
