How does the website pylint dot org relate to this project?
142+
-----------------------------------------------------------
143+
144+
Historically, pylint dot org served as the primary website for Pylint. However,
145+
we no longer have access to the domain. The current owners are monetizing
146+
this by displaying advertisements alongside outdated documentation without
147+
contributing to pylint at all. For the latest and official Pylint documentation,
148+
please visit `pylint.readthedocs.io <https://pylint.readthedocs.io/en/stable/>`_.

Please see `issue 8934 <https://github.com/pylint-dev/pylint/issues/8934>`_
151+
for more details.
