Disclaimer: I am not a maintainer and don't speak for them

But Wow!  This is blunt.  So your company is making good money using free
products, supported by volunteers.

If the sollicitation is mission critical, it would be a good idea to
convince your management to spend some budget on supporting the pylint
maintainers instead of demanding quick action.

Maybe you could rephrase like: "whom should I contact, is there anybody we
can hire to do this for us?"

This does, however, happen to be one of the problems I came in touch with
on my day job: SOUP (software of unknown provenance) management in
medical software.  And most open source we use is not maintained with
processes that fit these strict regulations (iec16304).

It would be great if the industry could start a funded registry of these
free tools, and support the maintainers with money and advise. On the other
hand, these heavy weight processes could hamper experimentation and
evolution when not managed properly.

Some partial solutions do exist already: one example (I googled for 'cve
pylint') could be snyk:
