Talking of cablint...

It has become clear that the original certlint/cablint repository 
(https://github.com/awslabs/certlint) is no longer being maintained.  At 
Sectigo we still use cablint as one of our preissuance linters, and 
we've been running into more and more problems with cablint's stale PSL 
data and one or two out-of-date lints.  We think it's useful to have 
multiple, independent certificate linting implementations, and so we 
believe that certlint/cablint still has value.  Consequently, Sectigo 
Management has asked me to maintain a fork of the certlint/cablint 
repository.  Here it is:

https://github.com/certlint/certlint

Collaborators would be very welcome!

BTW, crt.sh is now using this new certlint fork.
