[BUG] M-x org-lint gives spurious warning when file contains a link with percent-encoded url [9.6.13 ( @ /home/user/.emacs.d/elpa/org-9.6.13/)]

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

     https://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback

Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Running M-x org-lint on an org file with below contents results in a
spurious "Link escaped with obsolete percent-encoding syntax" warning.

#+begin_src org
* org-lint url percent-encoding syntax warning
[[https://www.example.com?param=hello%20world][test url]]
#+end_src

I would expect the above org file to not yield any warnings.

Emacs  : GNU Emacs 29.1 (build 2, x86_64-suse-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.38, cairo version 1.18.0)
Package: Org mode version 9.6.13 ( @ /home/user/.emacs.d/elpa/org-9.6.13/)

This is because spaces do not have to be escaped in the link path.
The warning is to assist users of the pre Org 9.3 link syntax.
See https://orgmode.org/worg/org-release-notes.html#orgbb3ee64

Please note that this link warning is marked as low-trust. So, if you
use percent-escaped syntax deliberately (as in the example), you may
ignore this warning ("i" in org-lint buffer).

Not a bug.
Canceled.
