<p>Rather than scanning the output of <code>$ vendor/bin/drush config:inspect --detail --list-constraints</code> <em>manually</em> to find next most important things to work on (which I've done a number of times for #2164373, see #41 there for example.</p>
<p>If we want to make it easy (and fun!) to contribute more validation constraints, we need to make it easy to discover what the next most important issue would be. Having this functionality would mean anybody would just need to do:</p>
<pre>composer require drush/drush drupal/config_inspector<br>vendor/bin/drush pm:install -y config_inspector<br>vendor/bin/drush config:inspector --todo</pre><p>
… and they'd see it right there, tailored for the website they're running it on!</p>
