Research direction
Start by reading the issue and locating the existing tests for the needless-collect and mutable-key-type lints. Determine how those tests currently cover false positives and what testing is needed before a lint is enabled by default. Done means the approach is documented in tests and catches the reported classes of buggy behavior.
