Jonas Enlund started the Eastwood project [1], and beginning around 2014 I
hacked on it fairly feverishly for a while, along with Nicola Mometto who
developed the tools.reader, tools.analyzer, and tools.analyzer.jvm
libraries upon which Eastwood is based.

I have not spent time to do much with Eastwood for the last couple of
years, other than to ensure that it doesn't break completely with new
Clojure releases (a few things in Eastwood sometimes do, given a few
internal Clojure details that Eastwood currently relies upon in its
checking).  I don't expect that time to increase in the future.

Thus this message, to ask if anyone out there is interested in hacking
Eastwood to scratch their particular itches.  Jonas was willing to give me
commit access to the repository when I started hacking on it in significant
ways, and I would guess he is willing to add others similarly interested.

I don't know how many developers use Eastwood, but I have tracked how many
downloads it gets from Clojars.org for a while.  During the previous 1
year, it has averaged close to 500 downloads per day.  I am sure that is
tiny compared to Clojure itself, or the most popular Clojure libraries like
Ring.  One feature that might make it more widely useful for developers is
if like other lint tools for other languages, there were a way to add
structured comments that disabled particular warnings that developers knew
to be false positives, so they didn't have to see them repeatedly in the
future.
