Research direction

Start by locating the Python definitions and usages of GraphQLResolveInfo and GraphQLFieldResolver, then compare their context handling with the GraphQL.js example in the issue. Done means users can provide a context type without GraphQLResolveInfo treating it as Any; verify the change against the project’s existing typing and resolver coverage.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently, GraphQLResolveInfo.context is being typed as Any, making GraphQLResolveInfo a generic would give users the ability to provide their type. This is already being done in GraphQL.js

export type GraphQLFieldResolver<
  TSource,
  TContext,
  TArgs = any,
  TResult = unknown,
> = (
  source: TSource,
  args: TArgs,
  context: TContext,
  info: GraphQLResolveInfo,
) => TResult;

If this change will be welcome, I'd like to make a pull-request implementing it.
