First of all, why is it 429 patches? The patches we want aren't about a
file or a subdirectory or even a subsystem, but they're supposed to be
a logical change. Ie. 1 patch. An exception for something like this would
be if you want to feed it to different maintainers seperately, but it
sounds like you just want to bomb it somewhere...

Secondly, let's not.

More subtle indenting stuff like fixing `if (exp) do_something` I can
understand. But this isn't nearly so helpful.
