I agree, I think a plugin is the way to go.

I have made a bit of an initial stab at a plugin:

https://bitbucket.org/pfctdayelise/pylint-pytest/

I am not sure the string building approach will get us very far, but I
just wanted to get something that would at least run (a lot of the
pylint docs are out of date).

Someone should probably run pylint over the pytest src to see what
other pylint messages are common.
