While I was trying to convert the above `org' file to `info' I
observed the following:

1. org linter report being /unlike/ compilation buffer.
2. source blocks with do /not/ specify a language failing to export.

The file has two source blocks like with "empty" language.  (Note that
there are other src blocks in that file, which /do/ specify language
as shell.)

    #+begin_src
       make packages/<pkgname>
    #+end_src

and doing C-c C-e i o results in a failure.

M-x org-lint produces the following result

    44 high  Missing language in source block
    51 high  Missing language in source block

While in the lint buffer, I was expecting that M-g M-n, M-g M-p would
take me to the relevant source lines.  Unfortunately, this isn't the
case.  And the linter report is derived from
`org-lint--report-mode-map' which is derived from
`tabulated-list-mode'.  The departure from convention surprised me.

And .... the following snippet works fine i.e., The linter finds any
issue with an "unknown" language but complaints if the "unknown"
language happens to be empty.

    #+begin_src zzzzzzzzzzzzz
       make packages/<pkgname>
    #+end_src

I wonder why an unknown langauge would be acceptable for export and
not a "empty" language.  Isn't source blocks with no language
equivalent to example blocks.
