Yes, that's bad.  Do we explain that we're a GNU project and as
such use GNU coding style?  Together with a pointer to the info
node *(standards)Formatting, that could help.

Yes, and even more so if we don't explain what the style is?

What could help, though, is to just accept small patches that have
formatting problems, run C-x h C-M-\ , tell them thank you and show
them the reformatted diff from C-x v = ?

This is where Rietveld, git-cl, policy and possibly the benevolent
dictator comes in?

Greetings,
Jan
