I mean something like this in kobopatch.yaml:

overrides_file: overrides.yaml

overrides.yaml:

src/nickel.yaml:
  Patch 1: yes
  Patch 2: yes
src/libadobe.so.yaml:
  Patch 3: yes
  Patch 4: yes
...

Not sure if there's a lot of value to allow arbitrarily specifying a file name, you might as well just look for a specifically-named file such as overrides.yaml. You can keep the existing override mechanism so it doesn't break existing setups and additionally use this file.

What do you think?

I decided to put it in kobopatch.yaml so people wouldn't blindly update. The main reason for this is you already need to install the firmware first, and funny things happen if you forget to. I've discussed the rest of the reasoning behind this in other posts as well.
