NilLoader as a supported modloader #903

Is your suggested enhancement related to a problem? Please describe.

This enhancement is not related to a problem.

Describe the solution you'd like

NilLoader should be available alongside Fabric, Forge, LiteLoader, Risugami's ModLoader, NeoForge, Quilt, and Rift as a supported modloader on Modrinth's backend, website, etc.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Allow defining custom "modloaders" per project release? This would probably be technically difficult in a number of ways, but would at least work around the need to special case every modloader that exists, or will exist.

Additional context

As I understand it, unascribed (developer of NilLoader) has requested the platform not be listed on Modrinth in the past, but has since lifted that concern (source from unascribed's Discord guild (invite) / Matrix server)

To get an idea of the market for NilLoader, there is currently one mod on Modrinth that uses it:
