lisp/gnus has this vital .dir-locals.el:
((emacs-lisp-mode . ((show-trailing-whitespace . t))))
(Which seems like personal preference to me.)
Anyway, this prevents the actually-has-useful-content
(log-edit-rewrite-fixes etc) top-level Emacs .dir-locals.el from being
seen.
The simplest solution seems not to have lisp/gnus/.dir-locals.el in the
Emacs repo. (Rather than duplicating all the top-level content into the
Gnus one, or implementing .dir-locals inheritance, desirable though that
might be.)

I tend to agree, tho it might actually reflect a coding convention used
for all of Gnus code.

Indeed (I didn't notice it because I always commit from a vc-dir buffer
showing the whole of `emacs' rather than a particular subdirectory).

I'll let the Gnus people decide what they prefer in the short term, but
dir-locals inheritance would be very welcome.

Not from me, but I like it for Gnus work.

I would really like dir-locals inheritance. It seems pretty trivial:
add a new entry like (non-root . t) to the alist for any dir-locals
files that are not roots. I saw a long discussion about it but don't
know what's blocking the feature.

That sounds about right, yes (tho I'd use a name like `inherit').
