What are we looking for?
Ability to import explanation of these external rules so that developers can easily understand what the issue is really is. Else they have to switch context and refer to golangcilint resources

Hi,

To get these rule descriptions into SonarQube, you’ll need to create a custom plugin that provides the rule definitions. There are a number of plugins in the Marketplace that do this for external tools. This might be a straightforward model to follow: GitHub - sbaudoin/sonar-ansible: SonarQube plugin to analyze Ansible playbooks
