It seems like that would be a good use for slang, but it's not something I'm personally planning on working on any time soon. If you'd like to contribute it I'd be happy to accept a PR.
The issue seemed more like a question (that was then answered), but if you meant it more like a feature request then sure, it can remain open if you prefer.
If your hope is that someone will pick up this issue for you it would probably be good to be a lot more clear about what exactly you'd want to see for CDC linting, what kinds of things it would check for, how it might work, etc.
For syntactic level lint checks, I would imagine we could do similar to what my team and I are doing using Pyslang (named PySlint, UVMLint, SVALint etc. there is even a EMULint version that some folks have branched off from PySlint). But many/some of CDC lint rules would need deeper synthesis aspects, SDC constraints, etc. that may be easier to do with Yosys type of framework (Or Icarus/Verilator after synthesis). If you are interested in volunteering rules for CDC, I can explore implementing some of them on top of Pyslang and opensource.

Any little bit of CDC help will help. Once embarked on this journey, the mileage may surprise us all 😉
Sure, please list down what you've in mind. You may also look at creating issues via https://github.com/AsFigo/pyslint/issues
With majority of opensource RTL developers being converted software engineers, a CDC validation tool would greatly help improve the quality of IP in opensource domain.
