I see the point, but I consider pyflakes and mypy more in the "code
correctness" league than the others, that really focus on long term
maintainability, so I'd like to have mypy errors handled the same way as
test failures.

Doing a new plugin myself is not out of question, but not in the very short
term. But if anybody else takes the leadership I'm willing to collaborate.

What I'd really like though is something validating types dynamically
