In the worst case, we could customize and/or tweak checkpatch.pl and start from there. Assuming that we can have such a checker, I am more interested in the way how people envision such a checker fits in our workflow to help people. Earlier Dscho floated an idea to integrate with the GitHub pull requests in a way similar to how Travis and SubmitGit are triggered, and I can sort of see how it may help, but I haven't seen ideas from others.
