I have a related proposal: let us require all patches to be stamped with Discordian *and* Eternal September dates. In triplicate. While we are at it, why don't we introduce new mandatory headers like, say it, X-checkpatch: {Yes,No} X-checkpatch-why-not: <string> X-pointless: <number from 1 to 69, going from "1: does something useful" all the way to "68: aligns right ends of lines in comments"> X-arbitrary-rules-added-to-CodingStyle: <number> (should be present if and only if X-pointless: 69 is present). Come to think of that, we clearly need a new file in Documentation/*, documenting such headers. Why don't we organize a subcommittee^Wnew maillist devoted to that? That would provide another entry route for contributors, lowering the overall entry barriers even further...None of the above was particularly useful.
Does that mean you're not going to take patches that align the right end of lines in comments? :-(
