The normal process would be for you to search the community
discussion list archives for any previous discussions on the topic,
and propose both an API for how to choose pretty printing and a
format for the pretty-printed output. Once the there is a
consensus on those questions, you can start coding, post a proposed
patch, add it to the CommitFest application, and participate in the
next CF cycle.
