+1 for stylish-haskell --- I have it enabled in my save-hook for most of my patches. It would be good to check in a stylish haskell YAML dotfile into the repo with some sane/uncontroversial settings (I like the horizontal alignment but a lot of people don't), then make a one-time pass over the repo. It will cause merge conflicts on any pending merge request however.
