I'm guessing it looks for signs of poor quality? ;-)

It looks like this project makes no backward incompatible changes to any
existing software.  As such, Minor binding seems unnecessarily
restrictive.  Why not Patch?

It appears that the project team has supplied man pages for each of
these interfaces in the materials directory (thank you).  Of note is the
reference to the use of Tcl/Tk by pylint-gui(1), which suggests that
there should be some additional related imported interfaces below.  If
Tcl/Tk is in fact used to drive the GUI, then what are the GNOME
libraries used for?

I don't see the latter two packages in the existing repositories.  Are
they in fact being delivered by this case (and should therefore be part
of the exported interfaces), or being delivered by a separate case (if
so there is case dependency that should be called out)?
