Automating Django Contribution Workflow – Input Needed

Django Internals Mentorship
5

Hey @sarahboyce,

I wanted to clarify a couple of things regarding the custom linters:

  1. Custom linter for coding style – As Django already uses Flake8, which enforces line length rules. Are you referring to additional checks beyond this, such as enforcing Django-specific import ordering, docstring formats, or other style conventions that are currently manually enforced?
  2. Custom linter for wrapping documentation – Do you mean ensuring .rst files follow specific line length limits and proper formatting (like headings, admonitions, etc.)? Would using rstcheck or doc8 in CI be a good approach here, or do you have something else in mind?

Just want to ensure I align with what would be most beneficial for the project! Thanks.
