Thank you, this i very good code. However, I think it would be great, if the functionality already developed in zero_noise_extrapolation.py could be used and not duplicated. Examples are the functionality for Richardson extrapolation, Pauli twirling, etc.
Consider moving the contents of this file into zero_noise_extrapolation.py.
Optional: It would be nice to have a notebook comparing CNOT error mitigation using this technique with the "random Pauli error" technique.

To me this is not obvious. One would probably always want to mitigate a gate type that is native on the device. It is OK to limit to IBM's devices (superconducting qubits). Maybe just remove the comment.

Are you trying to remove Pauli gates? If yes, I think this will not result in a twirl.

This is optional, right? If we provide an empty pass_manager, nothing will be done.

ZeroNoiseExtrapolation-class for mitigating CNOT-noise by multiplying CNOT-gates by factors 1,3,5,...,2n+1. Added an example notebook with the 3qubit SWAP-test circuit.
