There's certainly something to be said for consistency here: If we're
looking for a test of something in foo.el, we look in
lisp/foo-tests.el. And as you point out, cross-cutting linter stuff
doesn't really fit into that scheme at all.
So upon further consideration, I agree with you that adding a test/misc
directory would be better in the long term.
