I'd like to propose a new dust map to be added to the list of mwdust maps. Skowron+ 21 published a dust map in the direction of Magellanic Clouds based on OGLE red clump stars. The map is interactively accessable via their website. The reason why I'd really appreciate to implement this dust map is that the existing maps overestimate the extinction in the direction of MCs. This can be seen if one compares the Skowron's map to SFD on the linked website. Our group just recently published a paper (Molnár+ 21), where we also have addressed this issue (see Sect 3.2.1. and Fig. 4.).

Thanks for the suggestion! I don't have time to add a dust map myself at the moment, so this would have to be through a pull request. But looking at the Skowron+21 dust map, it seems like it's a 2D dust map and limited to the LMC? mwdust is specifically focused on 3D dust maps (although we do include the SFD map...) and large area maps. Anyway, if you or somebody else want to add an interface to this map, I can add it.
