-    The following pylint messages seem to be disabled in the global linting pass, but
-    not in the per-package linting passes in `./tox.ini`: {global_but_not_per_package}.
-    This could have two reasons with different solutions:
-    1. You fixed one or many pylint errors in one of the packages and there is no
-       package left that needs this specific message disabled. Then, please also remove
-       it from the global linting pass in `tox.ini` such that pylint runs in the
-       strictest configuration possible.
-    2. You decided to disable a message in the global linting pass in `./tox.ini`..
-       In this case either add it to the list of messages that should be disabled in the
-       long term (`pyproject.toml`) or add it to the `GLOBAL_DISABLES` variable in this
-       python script (`./github/workflows/pylint_check.py`) if the message should only
-       be disabled in the short term.
-    If you are not sure what exactly you are supposed to do, or if you think that this
-    message is wrong please feel free to open an issue on GitHub.
