Agenda item: do we want to continue to support generator-eslint? It hasn’t been updated in a while and there are a bunch of open PRs.

[bmish]

Just to provide some context on the above items (in particular eslint/eslint#14754, eslint/generator-eslint#79), my primary goal with them is to publicize eslint-plugin-eslint-plugin, encourage its adoption among plugin developers, and improve the quality of the overall plugin ecosystem.

• eslint-plugin-eslint-plugin is a powerful tool that we have for helping plugin developers create more-reliable rules with better usability, and for helping plugin developers migrate off deprecated ESLint APIs to modern replacements
• For example, this plugin could help us eventually make rule schemas mandatory for rules with options using the require-meta-schema rule (Change default rule schema to schema: [] and drop support for function-style rules eslint#14709), or remove support for deprecated function-based rules using the prefer-object-rule rule

After opening the PR to add eslint-plugin-eslint-plugin to generator-eslint, I noticed there were a lot of other basic improvements I could make to generator-eslint to bring it up to modern standards. It seems there are a few hundred downloads a week of this tool (and it is linked to from Working with Plugins), so I figured we should put our best foot forward with it so plugin developers who are still using it can build the best plugins possible. So I'd be happy to do the legwork of getting a new, modern version of generator-eslint out (I've maintained many ESLint plugins so I'm very familiar with this area).
