Integrating into Emacs 27 late in the process is risky because my code
could have introduced subtle bugs inside checkdoc and I would not like
to be responsible for a delay in the release. That being said and
checkdoc being automatically activated by flycheck (which I believe many
people use), I think we will find bugs in my code quite fast if there
are any. Moreover, I think that improving the overall quality of Emacs
code is important and every little step in this direction would be
helpful.
I'm not sure this is convincing enough but I would have tried :-D.
FYI, this work on checkdoc is part of a larger piece of work I've
started some years ago on improving the quality of Emacs packages. Here
are some of my activities in this area:
- opening issues and sending patches on Emacs core regarding checkdoc
(e.g., this one, bug#37063, bug#37034);
- giving very detailed reviews of packages sent to melpa (e.g.,
https://github.com/melpa/melpa/pull/5451);
- rewriting melpa's CONTRIBUTING.org from scratch
(https://github.com/melpa/melpa/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.org);
- collaborating with emake's developer
(https://github.com/vermiculus/emake.el/pull/8);
- writing makel (https://gitea.petton.fr/DamienCassou/makel);
- doing a conference on the subject at EmacsConf 2019
(https://media.emacsconf.org/2019/16.html);
- prototyping a linting engine for everyone to easily write lint rules
(https://gitlab.com/lintel/lintel).
