We have plugin support used in various places, some of these are documented to a greater or lesser extent (e.g SSO mapping providers), but we should have a generic doc they can all point to explaining:

  1. How to write a plugin, e.g the function signatures of __init__ and parse_config, (see docs)
  2. How to deploy these plugins in practice (i.e. make them a python package and install them in the venv?)

A parse_config method is mandatory on spam checked modules.

This relates to #8944 as well.

The first point is already covered in https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/modules/writing_a_module.html

So I'm going to rename this issue to cover only the second one.

I think the cookie cutter template for Synapse modules should be mentioned in the docs:
