Linter: revive, Rule: `exported` - Warns on undocumented exported functions and methods. Should we enable it?

### Description

This issue starts a discussion about enabling:
- linter: [revive](https://revive.run/) - Fast, configurable, extensible, flexible, and beautiful linter for Go. Drop-in replacement of golint. Revive provides a framework for development of custom rules, and lets you define a strict preset for enhancing your development & code review processes.
- rule: [exported](https://github.com/mgechev/revive/blob/master/RULES_DESCRIPTIONS.md#exported) - Exported function and methods should have comments. This warns on undocumented exported functions and methods.

More information [here](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/CodeReviewComments#doc-comments)

### Configuration:

([]string) rule flags.
Please notice that without configuration, the default behavior of the rule is that of its `golint` counterpart.
Available flags are:

* _checkPrivateReceivers_ enables checking public methods of private types
* _disableStutteringCheck_ disables checking for method names that stutter with the package name (i.e. avoid failure messages of the form _type name will be used as x.XY by other packages, and that stutters; consider calling this Y_)
* _sayRepetitiveInsteadOfStutters_ replaces the use of the term _stutters_ by _repetitive_ in failure messages
* _checkPublicInterface_ enabled checking public method definitions in public interface types

#### Example configuration:

```
- name: exported
arguments:
- "preserveScope"
- "checkPrivateReceivers"
- "sayRepetitiveInsteadOfStutters"
```

### Expected output

Decision about enabling or not enabling this rule.

Review revive's `exported` rule documentation and the findings listed in the issue, starting with the named Go files such as `accumulator.go`, `agent/accumulator.go`, and `config/config.go`. Assess the default behavior and configuration flags, then determine whether the rule should be enabled. Done means recording a clear enable-or-not decision.
