Version 2.0 of package Relint has just been released in GNU ELPA.
You can now find it in M-x list-packages RET.
Relint describes itself as:
===========================
Elisp regexp mistake finder
===========================
More at https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/relint.html
## Summary:
relint -- Emacs regexp mistake finder
=====================================
Relint scans Emacs Lisp files for mistakes in regexps, including
deprecated syntax and bad practice. It also checks the regexp-like
arguments to the functions skip-chars-forward, skip-chars-backward,
skip-syntax-forward and skip-syntax-backward.

* Usage
- Check a single file:
M-x relint-file
- Check all .el files in a directory tree:
M-x relint-directory
- Check current buffer:
M-x relint-current-buffer
In the *relint* buffer, pressing "g" will re-run the same check.
- From batch mode:
## Recent NEWS:
relint version history
======================
Version 2.0
- Compatibility break: `relint-buffer` now returns a list of `relint-diag`
objects. Use the `relint-diag-` accessors for reading their slots.
Each object now has BEGIN..END ranges instead of just the starting point,
which allows a user interface to highlight the corresponding part
of the code buffer in a suitable way.
There are now the severity levels `error`, `warning` and `info`.
- When running interactively (`relint-directory`, `relint-file` or
`relint-current-buffer`), the new `relint-buffer-highlight` face is
used for relevant parts of a string in the `*relint*` buffer.
This face can be customised or themed by the user.
- In batch mode (`relint-batch`), the new variable `relint-batch-highlight`
is used to determine how relevant parts of a string are marked in
the output. The default is to use reverse video for terminal display.
This variable can be customised by the user.
