During the discussion for
http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3464671 someone mentioned the idea for linter bot to clean up errors in github repos. Some bots like this already exist, but they're not always welcomed by everyone. I wondered at the time if there was some sort of equivalent of robots.txt for public source repos; since I haven't been able to find one, I thought I'd throw one together and see if anyone liked the idea.
Assuming that people do care, I'd love to get some discussion (either here or in the issues section of the repo) about ways to improve the proposal.
