[Wikitech-l] MediaWiki-CodeSniffer 17.0.0 released

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hello! MediaWiki-CodeSniffer 17.0.0 is now available for use in your MediaWiki extensions and other projects. This release features new sniffs, performance improvements, and other bug fixes. Notably, the "MissingParamComment" warning was removed - it often led to people adding documentation like "@param User $user User object" where the comment was not useful, and just a duplicate of the name or type.
