Yes, I agree, we should count both positive and negative scores, but we need
to do some assessment of what exactly is going on with those corner cases
too. The reason I excluded negative pylint scores was that I didn't want
projects to be penalized just because they hit on one of those weird cases
where pylint gives a really bad negative score.
