There was a long blost post somewhat recently (well, it might be from
this year at least) where the author complained how the Go compiler
likes to error on the most trivial things, and how it interrupts the
workflow of the programmer. The link is somewhere on reddit.

If I really want to get all the warnings I would want to have a
special flag for these kinds of trivial things (which will probably
never happen), but then again I might as well use another tool for it.

Speaking of tools: you could fork DMD, add all the warnings you want
in the front-end and provide a script for users that automatically git
clones your repo and builds the custom DMD, which can then be used as
a lint tool. That way you avoid having to create something from
scratch, and avoid redistribution issues.
