Create you own custom settings.py file in mayan/settings directory:

# my_settings.py file
from my_custom_module import my_function

METADATA_AVAILABLE_MODELS = {'my_function': my_function}

and launch Mayan with --settings=mayan.settings.my_settings.py

now my_function should be available in the namespace of your metadata 
lookup snippets.
