I'm fairly certain that ~/.pylint.rc is just the command line options
available to pylint made into a conf file.

See  http://flexget.com/browser/trunk/pylint.rc?rev=475 for an example.

So, for a section from pylint --help like so:

 Miscellaneous:
    --notes=<comma separated values>
                        List of note tags to take in consideration,
separated
                        by a comma. [current: FIXME,XXX,TODO]

You would make a configuration item like so:

[MISCELLANEOUS]
notes=FIXME,TODO

This is a fairly common thing for command-line app configurations.
