Dear Sylvain Thénault and Dougal Matthews, I just added a pull request for the discussed checker:
https://bitbucket.org/logilab/pylint/pull-request/143/new-extensions-directory-new-optional/diff As you suggested, I created a new module for such optional checkers: pylint/extensions containing the following files (so far): __init__.py check_docs.py I put the test file for the new checker into the normal test directory: pylint/test/test_check_docs.py People can activate this new checker by adding the line load-plugins=pylint.extensions.check_docs to the MASTER section of their .pylintrc . I added more documentation (including this usage description) to the class docstring of the checker.

I know there are some others like this one around (eg django dedicated checker, i18n/gettext checker, probably more). Rather to include them all in the pylint source distribution, I think what's missing is some official page listing such plugins. Or we could indeed also ship pylint with an "extensions" directory containing such additional checkers.
