Description
Have you considered making plugins able to be registered through the entry point system?
The plugin author could simply add something like the following to pyproject.toml:
[project.entry-points."snakemake.logger"]
mylogger = "mypackage.pluginmodule:LogHandler"
This would not require the package to have a specific name/structure and would also work with editable installs, making development easier.
I'd be happy to contribute a PR if people think it would be a good feature.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the plugin registration and discovery entry points in the repository, along with the linked pytest entry-point documentation. Confirm how the pyproject.toml example should map plugin names to LogHandler objects and how editable installs should behave. Done means plugins can register through the snakemake.logger entry-point group without requiring a specific package name or structure.
