Would there be any interest in an update to the XML report merger to filter out duplicate smell entries? We merge our detekt reports from multiple android flavors, and it creates duplicate smells in the merged report. Those duplicate smells are sent to our Sonar.

Good value add for everyone or too specialized / not complexity we want in the detekt codebase?

Are you talking about this: <https://github.com/detekt/detekt/blob/main/detekt-gradle-plugin/src/main/kotlin/io/gitlab/arturbosch/detekt/report/XmlReportMerger.kt> ?

Yup I think it makes sense to remove duplicates there

Yep that's the one! I've got a wip edit of this one that I can polish up for the main repo.
