I do think coding style can be of value, but I'd rate it at far lower
importance than testing and bug-squashing. The reason being that improving
tests and reducing bugs benefits all of our users, while coding styles mostly
benefit the people on this list.

This could be quite nice!

Agreed.

Yes!

Personally I'd love that too. I'd just rather see the bugs under much better
control before putting too much energy in this direction, as its likely to
generate a lot of debate.
