config file should also be loaded from .ansible-lint.yml by default

[MarkusTeufelberger]

There used to be a single default location for the ansible-lint config file: .ansible-lint.

Since #1822 there's also .config/ansible-lint.yml (note the missing dot and the added extension).

To make life easier for pre-commit and various editors that detect file types by extension, the location I tend to use is .ansible-lint.yml in the project's root folder. It would be nice if this could be added as a default third location for this file so I don't have to specify -c .ansible-lint.yml all the time. Alternatively i'm more than happy to remove .ansible-lint alltogether and always require a .yml extension in both default locations.

I just wanted to ask for a bit of feedback before I open a PR with the necessary changes since there are a few possible options and I might not have the full picture on which one would be better.

[MarkusTeufelberger]

Oh, and using .config/ansible-lint.yml is definitely not an option, since this causes issues for people that hide folders starting with a dot. Not even this very repository uses this supposed "common sense" standard at the time of writing for its own ansible-lint config file.

I would also add that both .yml and .yaml should be supported. Three character extensions are a remnant of old filesystems and the 4 character .yaml extension is prefered by many people (including me)

Nide idea, since there were no more comments for 2 weeks I'll open a PR. :-)

PR opened and rejected here: #2072

2 years and no traction?!
If I make a PR for this, anyone want to take bets on how quickly it will be reviewed?

[MarkusTeufelberger]

Well, it got outright rejected last time, so you might get another fast "no"? The change itself wasn't too difficult, so if you're fine with rejection, you can give it another try I guess.

[cornfeedhobo]

I see :(
Well, trying again.
