Ever since May 4 I decided to join the group of "linter wikignomes" to fix linter errors. I don't know how many exactly there are, but there are millions in total that are present on pages.
Regarding the total linter errors I fixed, this number does NOT accumulate if I fix linter errors I created. Also in cases the edit is reverted (for example in this case), the amount accumulated is reverted as well.
I've fixed approx. 420k linter errors (not including task 2 lint fixing) across my entire WP career here.
Some Linter wikignomes I know (ofc) edit

Linter errors I mostly attempt to fix edit
Amount fixed if there's one type I have to fix may be shown in my edit summary, as [fix linter errors (type, if there's only one type involved)].
I may add more to this list if I can identify more patterns of this category.
