Subject: 28.1; Add way to customize Flymake mode line text
Date: Mon, 25 Apr 2022 14:26:16 -0700
Is it acceptable to add a way to customize the Flymake mode line text?
Mode line space is valuable and I think many users would want to shorten
"Flymake".

Currently it is generated by

flymake-mode-line-format
-> flymake-mode-line-title
-> flymake--mode-line-title

which hardcodes "Flymake".  I would suggest adding an intermediary
variable/user option that could be easily changed.

I've now added flymake-mode-line-lighter to Emacs 29.

I'll just note, bug#30978 "define-minor-mode should define
mode-lighter variable"  would have handled this.  I still
think it's a good idea.
