Hi 3D Slicer Community,

We are developing a Python extension and plan to release it into the 3D slicer community. To make the main time-consuming part run in the backend, we create a CLI module following this repo: [GitHub - lassoan/SlicerPythonCLIExample: Example extension for 3D Slicer that demonstrates how to make a Python script available as a CLI module](https://github.com/lassoan/SlicerPythonCLIExample).

I am wondering when we prepare the extension repo in GitHub, what should we do with this Python CLI module?

Thanks!
