Possible topics (incl. some from last years BoF[1]):
 * Lintian "extras" (team/vendor specific checks)
   - No official progress
   - Vendor profiles can be abused for "adding" extensions
     (not "officially" endorsed though)
   - resource intensive checks and other external checkers
     - W: code-quality-is-bad-according-to-{cppcheck,coccinelle}
     - W: desktop-file-has-warnings-from-desktop-file-validate
   - Checks requiring Internet access?
     - W: homepage-is-spam-site
     - W: package-should-have-screenshot
   - Team vendor global overrides (profiles)
 * Tag (description) translations
 * Supporting "Lintian.d.o"-like setups for derivatives/third-parties[2]
   - Currently rather inbred code ("it's more awkward than it should
     be")
 * Lintian Static Analysis Framework[3]
   - Expose parts of Lintian as API/Framework for others
     (e.g. liblintian-perl)
   - Mirror sync support
 * Multiple-version/architecture support (#632115 and [4])
   - Handling processing of pkg $ver1 and $ver2 at the same time
   - Opens the door for limited doing "upgrade" checks.
     - Not a replacement piuparts
     - Maybe as a separate tool using "liblintian-perl"?
 * Maintenance/Attracting more (diverse) developers
   - Out-source check maintenance to relevant parties
     - (e.g.) Python related checks have been outdated for a while.
   - A lot of check/tags use a simple diagnosis
     - File X in dir Y requires/implies strong dependency on Z
       (checks/files should have a number of examples)
     - Write a simple Domain Specific Language for common cases?
       - as simple as possible
       - general lang. features are needed
 * Analyzing build logs for common (potential) problems? (idea of doko)
 * Documentation on writing checks
   - Writing tests
   - focus on design limitations
 * "cant fix bugs"
 * comments for overrides on l.d.o
 * contact maintainers over-using overrides
 * filing bugs based on lintian tags
   contact lucas: his scripts can help avoid filing duplicate bugs
 * people interested in finding ideas for new checks, follow the debian-mentors
   list and review packages then add lintian checks
 * Your idea/proposal here
