Right now only Toffoli gates are taken into account for the estimation of time and physical qubits required to synthesize non-Clifford gates in the circuit.

Lines 176 to 184 in cf53c06
From a Toffoli gate, 2 T gates might be obtained (https://quantum-journal.org/papers/q-2019-04-30-135/pdf/). However, the cost is not exactly 1->2 as the conversion takes time etc. I think adding T gates would be a great idea, in part because T gates are more natural when it comes to rotations, even if it seems that all state-of-the-art methods heavily rely on Toffolis.
