Btw, if the project does decide to auto-reformat, please advertise this on 
the list, there may be forks out there.

I have the opposite of your problem: I'd like to reformat pcb-rnd, but so 
far resisted the temptation to make my patches easier to apply to 
mainline or other forks. Once the mainline makes that move, I won't have a 
reason not to do it, this why I'd like to know about it by the time it 
happens.
