I'm jumping in the conversation as my ears were buzzing :).

@Udi: as long as your new theorems are roughly similar to the previous ones
(without more nesting, for instance), you should be able to use exactly the
same configuration. I haven't been focusing on having the smallest
configuration that works yet. If you need help or want to delegate the
DocBook export, no problem, just let me know :). I think that we can
proceed with merging your patch without any DocBook-related changes first
(unless your module makes the DocBook export crash, I believe that's not
likely t all), then I can have a look later on. But everything DocBook
requires LyX 2.4, that might make it harder for you to test.

Nevertheless, it would be best to have an example document with all your
new constructs to be used in the test suite (a file like
autotests/export/docbook/theorems-thmtools.lyx), even if you don't touch
the DocBook part: it would be very useful in the longer term to ensure that
nothing breaks regarding the DocBook export of your new constructs, and
also simply to write the required configuration. You would be the best
person to build this document, as you know how everything is supposed to be
used, I would have to figure it out almost from scratch.
I have noticed your included test_thmtools_module.lyx, but I don't know how
complete it is :).
