I can't make it this year (the conference is coincident with one I
need to attend for work), but I'd like to chime in and say it would be
nice to have a git pre-commit script that we could offer to people
that properly formats patches.  I'd say it's at least a good candidate
to fill a hole, I know that I'd be interested in tuning in to it once
it's available online ;)

Best,
