client9/mispell is unmaintained

[ccoVeille]

https://github.com/client9/misspell last commit is from 2018

golangci-lint forked it and maintain it

You can see it here
client9/misspell#197 (comment)

So maybe you could switch to https://github.com/golangci/misspell

First of all, thanks for the issue.

Is there any functional reason why we would like to switch the fork?

I do not see any outstanding features/bugfixes: golangci/misspell@v0.3.5...master

[ccoVeille]

Right now, no.

So maybe you could simply keep using client9 one, but I wanted to inform you the lib was maintained by golangci team

Thanks. My understanding is that they mainly maintain it so that they can use it here (as a package): https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/blob/95fc378f0ea5073c93ac490c751079ecaf3bbb56/pkg/golinters/misspell/misspell.go

Closing for now.
