Right now I am addressing the very specific problem of coming up with a
better typedef list to use with whatever indenter we use, given that it
seems a task well suited to the buildfarm.
If I do get to looking at GNU indent it will be a way down the track for
me too. In fact, this seems a task that might be well suited to someone
who is not spending what time they have available for Postgres on
hacking (currently I'm trying to remove bitrot from the column level
privs patch).
