ok, so as far as I understand, you don't want to have a linter that checks
automatically for all tests in metadata, but selectively check the one we
need? Considering how fast we are to parse metadata and to run linter,
we are 1 pipe away from your solution by using grep:

    lint.py metadata.json | grep <test>
