+The webhook currently supports pushes and pull requests by default, but you can
+subclass `buildbot_gitea.webhook.GiteaHandler` to add supports for other events,
+and then use your subclass by setting the `class` parameter:
+
+```py
+# myhook.py
+
+from buildbot_gitea.webhook import GiteaHandler
+class MyGiteaHook(GiteaHandler)
+    def process_whatever(self, payload, event_type, codebase):
+        # This should be a list of dicts
+        changes = []

+    }

+```

+Note that the handlers need to be named according to the scheme:
+`process_{event}` (e.g., `process_create`, etc).
