I notice you've installed such changes recently.
I'm not sure why you do that (I personally prefer the two spaces here,
tho it doesn't keep me up at night), but I also recently noticed that
the template used for new file uses two spaces, so if we decide to
change the layout, we should change it there as well.

For a long time, the example in maintain.info had two spaces here, and
being literal-minded, I assumed there was was some deep legal
significance to that, so I dutifully went around putting in two spaces.
Then I found out there wasn't any reason for two spaces
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2010-01/msg00346.html
so now I'm taking it out again when I remember to.

What is the "template used for new files"?

src/s/template.h, presumably.

I really doubt it. When was the last time a new src/s/*.h file was added?
I guess autoinsert. I don't know how many people use it, given how often
new files have non-standard formatting that needs fixing up.

Since there's no good technical reason either way, I suggest we stay
with what we've had for years (and what is still in maintain.info),
i.e. 2 spaces.

autoinsert.el.

As you wish. I figured since I'm basically the only person who ever
bothers to maintain these lines, no-one would else would care about
their whitespace.
However, maintain.info hasn't contained two spaces for years. Again:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2010-01/msg00346.html
At Jim's suggestion, I replaced the two spaces with one in maintain.texi.
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/gnustandards/maintain.texi?revision=1.178&root=gnustandards&view=markup&pathrev=MAIN
which is why I started doing this in the first place.
On a semi-related subject, log-edit-font-lock-gnu-style claims to relate
to the GNU coding standards. Where in those standards does it discourage
putting a lone word on a single line, etc?

I only care to the extent that I see them changed. I otherwise don't
care nearly enough.

Then, feel free to keep changing them opportunistically, as you've done
recently.

[ Did I manage to put that there? Hmm... good. ]
That's just general style, indeed.
