Hey. I've looked through existing rules, seems that nothing covers number of parameters in contructors. LongParameterList is the nearest thing, but it covers only methods.
I've tried to cover constructors there (https://github.com/r4zzz4k/detekt/commit/1cf853c), but ./gradlew check finds issues with existing code after that (https://github.com/arturbosch/detekt/blob/521e968/detekt-api/src/main/kotlin/io/gitlab/arturbosch/detekt/api/CodeSmell.kt#L44-L51).
So two questions:
1. Does this sound like a useful rule? In discussions over the Internet on argument count limit I mostly see costructors included. Checktyle, for example, also covers both methods and parameters (https://checkstyle.sourceforge.io/apidocs/com/puppycrawl/tools/checkstyle/checks/sizes/ParameterNumberCheck.html), PMD seems to agree on that (https://stackoverflow.com/q/56492868/2475207).
2. What's the flow for contributing rules which don't validate current code? Seems that check task completes successfully on the project itself.
3. Are there any general contribution guidelines described somewhere I've missed?

If you have the rule working, create a PR. We can talk about it there. If check fails we will see what to do.

Got it, thanks!

Okay, my bad, didn't check .github directory, now I see contribution guildelines. Not very obvious location, but it's a matter of habit I guess.
