client9/misspell references

[ccoVeille]

The repository https://github.com/client9/misspell is unmaintained.

You made a fork and maitain it https://github.com/golangci/misspell

Shouldn't these files refers to the new repositor ?

WithURL("https://github.com/client9/misspell"),

I was suprised to see the link in the documentation was pointing on client9 code.

While I understand, it's legitimate to mention the first author, the code current ran is now maintained by you

golangci-lint/pkg/golinters/misspell/misspell.go

Lines 3 to 11 in 003b048

	import (
	"fmt"
	"go/token"
	"strings"
	"sync"
	"unicode"
	"github.com/golangci/misspell"
	"golang.org/x/tools/go/analysis"

We use a fork but the original author and project are still the same.
Those links are used to reference the linter's authors.

I know, but I would have expected the link on github link of the linter to be the one of your repository on this page

https://golangci-lint.run/usage/linters/#disabled-by-default

I raised my point, I understand your point of view
