False positives on Rails/DynamicFindBy

Any method named find_by_* is triggering Rails/DynamicFindBy errors. This is occurring even if the methods are statically defined.

For example any call to this method triggers it:

Hi, thanks for your feedback!
I also recognize the problem.
We can use whitelist for the problem.

e.g.

# In .rubocop.yml
Rails/DynamicFindBy:
  Whitelist:
    - find_by_user_key

That's the reason the whitelist exists. There's nothing else we can do (apart from disabling the cop).
