Note: Unfiltered. Over time, I put in the manual a more polished list.

• Refactor code snippet functions: There are currently two functions for creating code snippets: def _collect_issue_lines(filename, line, context=1) in api_helpers and def pylint_reporting(result) in reporting.py. Ideally, a single function would be easier to maintain and improve. The function in reporting.py should be abandoned after the CLI HTML output is rewritten using the new (and superior) APIs.

• Remote validation: Add an option to validate a script or package from a remote URL. Should this have limits (e.g., restricted to Codeberg, GitLab, GitHub, etc.)? Now only PyPI.org is possible (which is good! and secure)

Create _ext/ and _templates/ subdirectories.

Move edit_on_github.py into the _ext/ subdirectory.

Move sourcelink.html into the _templates/ subdirectory.

Add the following after the import sys, os line
