Dear Maintainer,

$ apt info lintian
Homepage: https://lintian.debian.org/

$ host lintian.debian.org
Host lintian.debian.org not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=lintian.debian.org&literal=1&perpkg=1
shows that this is used heavily
(I came across it on a mentors.d.n listing, for example).

I don't see any off-line documentation listed in /u/s/doc/lintian,
and indeed the tags ‒ which is what lintian.d.o was used most of all ‒
are available exclusively online via lintian-explain-tags and
/usr/share/lintian/tags, which isn't really, uh, linkable.

If maintaining lintian.d.o is too much of a maintenance burden
(though I can't imagine why turning 1527 RFC822s
 in a consistent format into HTMLs once per release would be one),
something should should be put in its place
(indeed, generating a lintian-tags(7) is similarly trivial and
 autogenerates into a manpages.d.o entry).

Best,
наб
