Greetings,
 I have been following along with the thread and would just like to say a 
few paragraphs.
Can't the contributors themselves run pgindent on the files which they 
have changed _just_ before creating the patch which is to be contributed?
Thus, patching a "pure" pgindented file from cvs with another 
"pure" file created loacally will allow for the contributor to work with 
their own ideosyncratic indentation style, yet at the same time keep the 
pgindentification of the cvs tree "pure".
 Otherwise the alternative is to insist that people code according to the 
project's standards, which is really just another application of the 
slogans; "When in Rome do as Rome does." and "There is no "I" in "TEAM."
 If there is one thing the Mozilla project has done well, it is the 
creation of all the tools to make cooperative coding simpler. As the 
PostgreSQL grows in complexity and following you might find that these 
tools are helpful.
