Support task-tags in flake8-todo rules
It would be nice if the flake8-todo rules affecting TODO formatting (TD002-7) supported the lint.task-tags setting rather than just the hard-coded "directives" supported by the original rules in flake8-todo. As it stands, there's no way to add enforcement for custom tags, which would be helpful for teams which use them and want to make sure they're used consistently. It also "incorrectly" flags my maybe-todo comments (e.g. # TODO?: switch to using fooble instead) as missing a colon. 🙂
Do you mean that TD001 should flag tags other than FIXME and XXX? (https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/rules/invalid-todo-tag/)
Or that rules like TD002 should allow anything in task-tags (e.g., FIXME(foo) should be ok?), and enforce authorship on them? (https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/rules/missing-todo-author/)
Ah! You're right, TD001 doesn't make sense that way; my mistake, I'll fix the description.
No, I was indeed referring to e.g. being able to require # TECHDEBT(author) instead of just # TECHDEBT if TD002 is selected or, in my case, # TODO?: some rationale instead of just # TODO? with TD004, TD005, and TD007.
I think being able to keep track of when task tags are being used inconsistently would be a "nice to have" feature for projects which use multiple tags with different meanings.
