Comment (by subrataemfluence):

 If I understand correctly, the form is only submitting to itself, not to
 `option.php` to save permalink structures and this saves the settings
 fine.

 For new options, what I realize from initial look into the code is
 tag_base and category_base are the two options being considered so far and
 there is (probably) no room yet for considering a generic option or an
 additional option.

 In `options-permalink.php` options that handled are:


 {{{
 $category_base   = get_option( 'category_base' );
 $tag_base        = get_option( 'tag_base' );
 }}}


 Also, in `class-wp-rewrite.php`, functions are specially written to handle
 the same two options, i.e.

 set_category_base and set_tag_base, which are being used back in `wp-admin
 /options-permalink.php`:


 {{{
 $wp_rewrite->set_category_base( $category_base );
 $wp_rewrite->set_tag_base( $tag_base );
 }}}

 I may be entirely wrong in my understanding, but looks like in order to
 consider "any" custom options in permalink page we need to have generic
 methods in `class-wp-rewrite.php` as well as modify the logic of `options-
 permalink.php` to deal with dynamic inputs.
