Per: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=421687#c8 Looks like we don't want pylint to be used. For that, we would need to patch Makefile.plugins, but I am unsure about what totem upstream expects, if they want pylint being run, we will probably need to carry that patch forever What do you think?
That sounds like a good idea to disable it indeed.
