Max,

Thanks for your review! See my answers inline.

*"I have no idea" why I decided to write that E131 is hard to fix...*
Maybe it's a brain damage as a result of solar flare, dunno.

All in all, I've marked all spots reported by flake8 with # noqa label
and here is why: All of the "misaligned" places are located deeply
inside a cascade of the calls and list comprehensions, so indenting the
tail of the comprehension with the same indent level as its beginning
makes the code barely readable at least for me. Yes, I have read enough
Python code and recently faced some sources with the "right"
indentation: it looks unreadable as fuck, since the only difference
between prefix and postfix <for> "statement" is the freaking colon. IMHO
the current indentation emphases the fact that this is a oneline
statement split into two lines due to the width limits. I know that
syntax error will occur if prefix variant is used instead of postfix and
vice versa, but we're talking about code formatting and readability. I
removed the global suppression and added inline suppressions in scope of
the separate commit (will send in reply to this message).

As for E501, I also rewrote some parts and finally fixed all occurrences
(will also send the patch in reply to this message).

New CI results here: https://github.com/tarantool/luajit/commit/f9c3849.

Nice idea, thanks! However, I suggest to move it in scope of the series
integrating CTest (along with luacheck part). Does this work for you?
