List on Link Checker project page or integrate as submodule

Problem/Motivation

Hi and thank you very much for this wonderful and super helpful module!

I was recently wondering about two things:
1. Why isn't this listed on the Link checker module page?
2. Shouldn't this be included as a submodule in Link checker? That would improve visibility and I think it's useful enough to have it included?

Thanks ! :)

    1. It's listed if you click the link "projects that extend this"
    2. No. My personal opinion is that submodules are an anti pattern. For different reasons, but limiting it to the following

    - Separate modules make it possible to have asynchronous releases. In most cases what you want, really
    - Separate modules come from (and encourage) community effort. Coincidentally I am also a maintainer of linkchecker but that was not the case when I contributes this module back in the day. This fostering of development is positive in my opinion

    Woah that reads as very angry or strict

    Sorry about that.

    I think you make good points and the last comment is only answering your question. I guess it can still be listed on the module page of linkchecker though, I'll see what I can do

    Thanks for the super quick response, @eiriksm all good :)

    Great to see this more visible on the project page now. I didn't see it before and so never found this project - came here through a different module search and was surprised.

    Also, all good regarding the submodule vs. separate module approach. I absolutely don't see submodules as antipatterns, if they extend the parent module, but are very closely related, but of course your decision is fine and there are also good reasons.
    I was just wondering, because you're maintainer of both projects. You also explained that.

    Thanks a lot!! :) Great projects, great work!
