I think it's pretty clear that the features of this library and even more so the general goal of the library could be broadly useful for a large variety of software within and outside neuroscience. I'm opening this ticket as a place to discuss how we might generalize this package to be more broadly applicable. @oruebel, what exactly would need to be done to generalize this so it could be applied to any Python package? What are the places that are currently NWB-specific?

One option could be to refactor this into a sphinx extension so it could be auto-generated as an additional page on the ReadTheDocs of any package, similar to how auto API currently works. I suppose the challenge of that would be that we would need to use the RTD build services, which might fail if this takes too long. Is there a way to build docs using GitHub Actions instead?
