I did an internal search and the current state is:

- "Folks have been looking at open sourcing cpplint"
- In its current incarnation, there is a lot of google-specific checks
that needs to be factored out simply because they don't apply to
external and open source projects.
- Nobody actually took over to do the work.

So I wouldn't expect anything in the near term.
