Severity of `pydocstyle` possibly incorrect

Apologies if this isn’t the right place for this issue. If it’s actually an issue with the language server or pydocstyle I’ll close this and open it there.

Environment data

• VS Code version: 1.56.2
• Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): 2021.5.842923320
• OS and version: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): Python 3.9.5, Miniconda
• Type of virtual environment used (N/A | venv | virtualenv | conda | …): Miniconda 4.10.1
• Relevant/affected Python packages and their versions: pydocstyle 6.1.1
• Relevant/affected Python-related VS Code extensions and their versions: ? Pylance 2021.5.4
• Value of the python.languageServer setting: Pylance

Expected behaviour

I wanted my pydocstyle to be ‘Information’ (blue underline). pycodestyle has some nice settings for this, like

• python.linting.pycodestyleCategorySeverity.E
• python.linting.pycodestyleCategorySeverity.W but there doesn’t seem to be anything similar for pydocstyle.

According to the docs,

The Python extension maps all pydocstyle errors to the Convention © category.

My setting for python.linting.pylintCategorySeverity.convention is set to the default which is ‘Information’.

Actual behaviour

My pydocstyle violations are all listed as ‘Warnings’ (yellow underlines).

Steps to reproduce:

Any and all pydocstyle violations, e.g. define a function without a docstring.
