I'm not working on depot_tools anymore. The pylint check is there:
https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/tools/depot_tools/PRESUBMIT.py?sq=package:chromium&dr=C&l=45

something must have broke it.

estaab: who owns depot_tools?  Can you reassign?

depot_tools is unowned but maybe Aaron can help since he may know the easiest way to prevent the typo from https://codereview.chromium.org/2280213002.

(otherwise Robbie was my other choice)

The pylint check in depot_tools is a total mess. I've cleaned it up and given it a whitelist so that it only checks things that are actually source files, and that actually live in depot_tools (as opposed to being pulled in e.g. by recipes). It is also significantly faster now.
