How does the website pylint dot org relate to this project?
-----------------------------------------------------------

Historically, pylint dot org served as the primary website for Pylint. However,
we no longer have access to the domain. The current owners are monetizing
this by displaying advertisements alongside outdated documentation. For the
latest and official Pylint documentation, please visit
`pylint.readthedocs.io <https://pylint.readthedocs.io`_.
