Lintian recently already "regressed" in its "policy" of not being too
nagging. Already there are tags that I've been ignoring because too
annoying and way too often too hard or impossible to accomplish
(upstream gpg sig and autopkgtest come to my mind). I do not want to
have lintian go back to its situation of "way too noise, let's ignore
it" that it was several years ago.

I'd love it, but I believe people would just be annoyed by it.
Have you seen uploads like this: https://tracker.debian.org/news/865454
* Replace FIXME markers with TODO markers. Silly lintian ...
I do not want to see more of them, please let's try to stay real, even
if I personally would like to see more cleaness around.
