In GitHub Super Linter: one linter to rule them allThis weirded me out, but the Dockerfile [0] reveals how this just pulls together a bunch of linters. A nice convenience to have taken care of, but nothing groundbreaking or closed-off. I guess this still counts as an "Extend" step, though.

In GitHub Super Linter: one linter to rule them allWhat's very interesting in the list here: https://github.com/github/super-linter/#supported-linters
Java is the only major language without any sane default coding standard (no, google-java-format is google-specific, outdated, not up-to-date with recent versions and not maintained by community). It's a pity really.
In GitHub Super Linter: one linter to rule them allYes please! Feel free to open up an issue and collaborate with others to get it added! https://github.com/github/super-linter/issues
In GitHub Super Linter: one linter to rule them allHi, there is a local run option with instructions here: https://github.com/github/super-linter/blob/master/docs/run-...
In GitHub Super Linter: one linter to rule them allA problem I can see with this super linter is that it seems be written exclusively for GitHub Actions; there's no local install option. (I didn't read the code, maybe you can use lib/linter.sh directly, but it's certainly not directly supported.) So contributors have to rely on the CI feedback loop to see if their changes are compliant (insert fencing comic here)... Or more realistically, still use whatever linters they've been using so far, but now you have to maintain linter configs in two places.
I get why it's probably not ideal as a local tool, and integration with Status API is nice and all, but I personally prefer to see devs linting their code before pushing for review.
Correction: it can run locally in Docker, as pointed out below: https://github.com/github/super-linter/blob/master/docs/run-...
