Description
I'd like to suggest jsslintr for the task view, plausibly under the "LaTeX" or literate-programming/publishing tools section.
jsslintr (https://cran.r-project.org/package=jsslintr) checks manuscripts in Journal of Statistical Software format (.tex, .Rnw, .Rmd + .bib) against 62 deterministic rules derived from the journal's published style guide, reporting violations with positions and fix suggestions (jssfix() applies the mechanical subset). It complements the code-oriented linters already in common use (lintr, styler) by acting on the manuscript rather than the code, and its per-rule precision/recall is measured against a pinned corpus of 254 published JSS-format manuscripts.
Disclosure: I am the package author. The package is independent of and not endorsed by JSS itself.

Research direction
Start by locating the ReproducibleResearch task-view source and reviewing how existing packages are grouped under the LaTeX or literate-programming/publishing sections. Add jsslintr with its CRAN link and described manuscript-linting purpose, then verify that the rendered task view includes it in the chosen section.
