Sure, I've been reading flycheck and syntastic (analogous package for
vim) for reference.

There are some things aside from checkers I think flymake should learn
from flycheck--may as well list some here:

- some way (global variable?) to disable checkers.  I for one never want
  checkdoc to run automatically
- fine control over when checks happen (again a global setting);
  for instance, on-the-fly can be troublesome if checking is expensive.
  flycheck uses a list: '(save idle-change new-line mode-enabled)
- popup a special buffer with all the error/warning/info listed
