Yes, properties are the way to go IMO.

Note that there’s already one or two checker-specific properties, such
as ‘lint-hidden-cve’.  We could add more of that if needed.

A higher-level ‘lint-silenced-checkers’ property like you propose (I
think that’s a better name) would also be welcome.

It’s incidentally a good programming task to get started; who’s in?  :-)
