I'm sorry, but I am overloaded.  Besides, I know very little Elisp; for
example, only in the last few weeks did I learn about backquote constructs.
Furthermore, I am a very slow programmer even in C, C++ or Python, with which I
have more experience.

The lint message can make an inexperienced user think there is something wrong
(I did), and he could waste time investigating the issue or manually removing
the extraneous elements (thinking they are prejudicial).  Perhaps the message
could be reworded.  Maybe

      Extraneous elements, which are ignored when exporting, in footnote
      section.
