For git-multimail, there are actually a lot of false-positive due to the way we use multiple-inheritance (when calling super(...).__init__(), lgtm assumes we're calling the superclass's constructor while we actually call the "next in the method resolution order list"), but also probably valid concerns. I've set up a separate project for git-multimail: https://lgtm.com/projects/g/git-multimail/git-multimail/alerts/?mode=list I'll have a deeper look ASAP.
