Description
Since golint is unmaintained, deprecated and frozen, maybe we should stop suggesting it and start suggesting alternatives like [staticcheck](https://staticcheck.io/) and `go vet`.
Or maybe refer to IDE integrations, like we do with `gofmt`.

Research direction
Start by locating where this analyzer suggests golint and read the surrounding guidance. Compare the issue's proposed alternatives—staticcheck, go vet, and IDE integrations—and confirm the intended recommendation with the linked golang/go issue. Done means golint is no longer suggested and the chosen replacement guidance is covered by the relevant tests.
