Extend the Running Sidebar

[Queuecumber]

I'm currently doing some work on https://github.com/chaoleili/jupyterlab_tensorboard and one thing that we want to add is a list of running tensorboard sessions to the running sidebar. Currently, the hack to make this work is to add a new tab the the sidebar just for managing tensorboards. This is kind of ugly and redundant when there is already a panel for it. What we want to add isnt a kernel or terminal so it doesn't fit in cleanly. I can't seem to find an extension API for adding a new section to the running sidebar, is there one? If not can this be a feature request to add one?

Edit: Updating my comment as I misunderstood the first time - you can try taking a look at the running extension.

I'll see if I can find something more precise than this

I'm not entirely sure but that looks like an API to add new panels, we are looking to add something new to the existing running panel (the one that list "terminal sessions" and "kernel sessions")

Is #6002 helpful? We didn't get it in 1.0, but it's in the queue to be reviewed.

yup looks like exactly what I want, I can look into reviving that PR since its been a few months since that guy said anything
