Well, I think it'd really have to be every patch that's indented properly. And that's hard given the way typedefs.list
ismaintained. Without most new typedefs included one continually reindents with a lot of damage.
It'd be less bad is we automated the maintenance of the lists so
a) patch authors can automatically add to the list and include that in commits
b) the committed list gets updated automatically every few days based on bf results
c) there's automated whole tree pgindent runs every few days.
