@IndrajeetPatil You may want to look and see if we can resolve the issues flagged in this thread, particularly the license and author information above (though I do not know Florent Angly's affiliation)

Never mind, I now see you have already handled this, appreciate you being on top of it and thanks!

[MichaelChirico]

thanks for flagging @jimhester! it was (partially) fixed already: r-lib/lintr#2651

this comment is the updated paper:

#7171 (comment)

[lrnv]

@crvernon you mind If I assign myself as editor on this one ?

[crvernon]

@editorialbot assign @lrnv as editor

Thanks @lrnv!

[editorialbot]

Assigned! @lrnv is now the editor

[lrnv]

@jimhester Happy to be your editor for this meaningful package in the R realm.

To start off, would you be able to recommend a few potential reviewers for this ? For example if you have people that you know will give you interesting input on the submission, that might fit.

[jimhester]

https://reviewers.joss.theoj.org/reviewers/720, https://reviewers.joss.theoj.org/reviewers/1337 are a couple I noticed from a brief look. Josiah and I overlapped at RStudio a bit as a potential COI, but we never worked on any projects together and have both been gone from RStudio for > 2.5 years.

@MichaelChirico or @IndrajeetPatil do you have any other reviewer suggestions?

[MichaelChirico]

Also looked briefly; maybe https://reviewers.joss.theoj.org/reviewers/2436 who has worked on the R Dev Guide & other R forwards initiatives

[lrnv]

Okay then, @njtierney, @JosiahParry, @SaranjeetKaur would any of you be willing to review r-lib/lintr for JOSS ? We carry out our checklist-driven reviews here in GitHub issues and follow these guidelines: joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/review_criteria.html

[SaranjeetKaur]

I would love to! Thanks!

[JosiahParry]

Thanks for thinking of me :) Yes, I would be happy to submit a review.
