Usually, linters have include/exclude lists.
For example, with clippy, we have a long list of include (good) and a long list of exclude (bad).
Example: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/tools/lint/clippy.yml

We should add an option (or something similar) to mozlint to identify which items in the exclude list are now green.
It happens when the dev/team in charge of the components fixes some issues (here, clippy warnings but it can be license, coding style, etc) and isn't aware that the folder is listed in the exclude list.

We should add an option to mozlint like "--check-exclude-list" which would run the checker only the exclude list (like -n in mozlint) and shows which directories/files are green and could be removed from the exclude list.

Currently, I should do:

$ ./mach lint -l clippy -n gfx/wgpu/player/ 

for every checkers and every excludes and look at the results to see issues still happen

(I choose this example and this directory happens to be good now)

% ./mach lint -l clippy -n tools/profiler/rust-helper/
/home/sylvestre/dev/mozilla/mozilla-central.hg/tools/profiler/rust-helper/src/lib.rs

Tania, are you still working on this?

Flags: needinfo?(yalyna.ts)

Gijs, no, I'm not. I got stuck and stopped working on it. Don't think I'll get back to it within the next month for sure.

@nisargkarun1997 why did you set a needinfo ?

Flags: needinfo?(sledru)

@Sylvestre Ledru I was looking for a good first bug. I found this bug is still active and requested you for additional info or resources which could help in resolving this.

@Sylvestre Ledru Do I need to get separate credentials to push the changes to remote for code review? I am trying to push my changes and getting the following error.

Hi nisargkarun1997, yes you need to add phabricator token locally, you have to type moz-phab install-certificate and then go to url mentioned in terminal and paste the token

Hi, I am new to open source and want to start. If it is still open I am ready to contribute as it looks like interesting.

I guess someone else is working on this bug, can you look into https://codetribute.mozilla.org/ for something else or come back to this bug in few days if there is no progress here feel free to add the patch then

@Shivam Singhal Thanks for the reply.
I have done this and still facing the same issue. I am getting permission denied error repeatedly.

Also Hi @Deepak, I have already been working on this bug for the past week and am about to raise a review request.
