GNU coding standards say otherwise: 

http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards_42.html#SEC42

    Break long lists of function names by closing continued lines with
    `)', rather than `,', and opening the continuation with `(' as in
    this example:

      * keyboard.c (menu_bar_items, tool_bar_items)
    (Fexecute_extended_command): Deal with `keymap' property.

Emacs gets it right, but it's not surprising that it isn't technically
enforced on projects with large numbers of non-emacs contributers.
