I am working on a C# .NET Code Base, where a Custom Roslyn Analyzer is involved that analyze Existence of Todo Comments. We work with the IDE JetBrains Rider 2024.2.4.
Recently we integrated EditorConfig to maintain a consistent Coding Style and asked ourself if it’s possible to use a predefined rule, that detects such Todo Comments in Context of EditorConfig? With the ulterior motive of replacing the mentioned Custom Roslyn Analyzer.

The EditorConfig wiki says there is no such option:
EditorConfig properties
The EditorConfig is more about keeping a base file handling configuration across all code editors, it is not meant for high-level convenience features.
JetBrains Rider can already list your TODO comments. You can even define a custom TODO pattern if your pattern for that differs from TODO:
Configuring TODO patterns
Beyond that, notice that StackOverflow is not for recommending plugins, extensions, libraries, etc.. because answers of that nature tend to age poorly. If you need a better handling of ToDo comments, find a general discussion forum for developers or even just google a list of todo plugins for your IDE and decide in your team what fits your requirements.
