The linter 'maligned' is deprecated use govet 'fieldalignment' instead."

[KEINOS]

Currently I get the below warn. Seems that maligned linter is deprecated.

level=warning msg="[runner] The linter 'maligned' is deprecated due to: The repository of the linter has been archived by the owner. Use govet 'fieldalignment' instead."

$ go version
go version go1.15.8 linux/amd64

$ # ignore the "config/config.go:51:18 ... " error. Focus on "level=warning ... " line.
$ ./.github/run-tests-merge.sh

The line which is causing the warning is the below in ./.github/golangci.yml. See the line 62.

By removing maligned did fix the problem.
