This is the initial draft for "The incoming Summer of Clippy", talked about in our All Hands.
For reviewing ease, here's everything I wanted to talk about:

  • What's happening and when
  • Why it's happening
    • Too many lints
    • More bugs that we'd like
  • What can the users expect
    • Better lints, more accurate ones
    • No breaking changes
    • Faster development cycle
    • New lints will have to wait these 3 months
  • How can you help
    • Every contribution helps
    • If you want direct help,

We are currently blocked on not having a tracking issue for the good first issues (and we do not have a lot of issues marked with the label in the repo). But I think that this is still ready for an initial review from the team.

That was quick! I don't have time to review the blog post today. But should this go into content/inside-rust instead? I feel like this is more of an inside-rust blog post.

I'm not sure, this serves as a half announcement to overall the Rust community (they won't be getting new features for a while) and also to the contributors, as they now have distinct goals to aim to. (That tracking issue)

I don't think it will be really noticable to non-contributors, if there aren't any new lints for 2 releases. And the ones that do notice, will probably find this blog post, even when published in internal-rust

The internal-rust blog is for the contributors.

Some small fixes. Good job on the blog post!

expect even more from the already great linter.

Don't you mean "dissect" here? (because bisection would probably give us the point of introduction of the lint)
