Had a closer look at this: If I see correctly, this would imply to 
either create duplicate API endpoints for interacting with the config or 
pass an additional sync direction variant flag to the preexisting 
endpoints, in order to distinguish the section types and therefore sync 
job variants while keeping the same `SyncJobConfig`. The latter seems to 
be the more promising approach.

So I will go for adding a new section type `sync-push` and add the 
`SyncDirection` parameters where required.

This separates the sync job variants cleanly in the config, making it 
impossible to switch sync direction by simply deleting a line (switching 
over the config type can not happen as easily, therefore better 
protecting from accidental misconfiguration).
