There's an open issue for it since a while:
https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint/issues/618

There was some work on it, but the person who started working on it
unfortunately never submitted a pull request :(

Personally I use a script to find my test files (as they don't have
__init__.py files because I'm using py.test). That script also adds
some disables:
