Description
In Bug 1956871, I'm trying to ensure that developers don't get surprised by failing lint tasks that aren't surfaced in Phab. That particular issue is due to the in-tree configuration of the linter, but the code-review bot does not help: it should complain that the lint task has not provided the required mozlint.json output rather than ignoring it. Can we do that?
