Description

Current problem

Hi, is it in the roadmap to make pylint provide SARIF output ? (SARIF is the OASIS common format for all analysis tools )

It would help improve its integration within MegaLinter :)

Best regards

Desired solution

Research direction
Explore the current output infrastructure in pylint, e.g., JSON and text reporters. Study the SARIF specification (OASIS format) to design a new reporter. Check if any prior work exists in the repository or linked issues. Consider integrating with MegaLinter's expectations for SARIF.
