Not that I know of unfortunately. I think the apply part is done by
https://github.com/macdice/cfbot/blob/master/cfbot_patchburner_chroot_ctl.sh#L93-L120,
which seems reasonable. So basically any extension outside of those could be
used, excluding of course anything clearly suspicious that would be rejected by
many email providers.
