[Proposal] Linguist, enry: Rename SaltStack language to Salt and update color #69313

Description

@jleroy

Linguist and enry are programming language detection libraries used by a lot of softwares, especially software forges like GitHub (Linguist), Gitea and Forgejo (enry).

Currently, these library detects sls files as SaltStack and assign them the #646464 HTML color code. Example on GitHub repositories:

As SaltStack was the name of the now-defunct company behind Salt and the software/language itself is named Salt (although the two are often confused), I suggest to submit a PR to these projects to rename the language to Salt and take this opportunity to update the language color to #57bcad in order to match Salt Project’s official branding guidelines.

I already have a PR ready, but a public consensus within the community is needed for it to be accepted, hence this issue.
I’m not sure if this should be a discussion or an issue, so feel free to move it if needed. I think more people follow issues so more of them will have the opportunity to share their opinions here.
