ESLint doesn't recognize doc comments as a use of a type

Tell us about your environment

• ESLint Version: v6.8.0
• Node Version: v8.11.3
• npm Version: v5.6.0

What parser (default, Babel-ESLint, etc.) are you using? default

Please show your full configuration:

Configuration

module.exports = {
    "extends": "standard",
    "rules": {    
        "semi": [2, "always"],
        "indent": [2, 4],
        "no-return-await": 0,
        "space-before-function-paren": [2, {
            "named": "never",
            "anonymous": "never",
            "asyncArrow": "always"
        }],
        "template-curly-spacing": [2, "always"]
    }
};

What did you do? Please include the actual source code causing the issue, as well as the command that you used to run ESLint.

const { TurnContext } = require('botbuilder');
/**
 *
 * @param {TurnContext} turnContext on turn context object.
 */
async run(turnContext) {}

eslint test.js

What did you expect to happen? ESLint should recognize that the types I’m importing are used in doc comments

What actually happened? Please include the actual, raw output from ESLint.

6:66  error  'TurnContext' is assigned a value but never used        no-unused-vars

Are you willing to submit a pull request to fix this bug? Maybe

Is the JSDoc plugin meant to be used on top of ESLint or instead of?

Assuming you mean using a JSDoc plugin rule in addition to no-unused-vars in ESLint core, it should be possible to use it in addition. This should be doable similarly to how eslint-plugin-react marks import React from "react" as used in the jsx-uses-react rule.

Docs are here and the rule source code can be found here.
