IMHO LKML already gives obligation to be one Then I hope you don't mind me asking, why is there (L)indent? Everyone can make a mistake and if your editor does not auto-format then there may be a whitespace straying. I also guess you saw that the script is _not_ for cleaning up source-files (can be intrusive and is better to be fixed when fixing something else), but patches. So if a maintainer does not have anything to easily fix those, they might want a simple script to do the work (otherwise I believe they just deleted my mail ;) ). As I said in the posting, it is just if someone is interested in it, otherwise you have a Del-button.
