I don't think Commons technically has a stance on code formatting.  We
discussed it way back when, but I don't think consensus was reached; the Sun
convention is a footnote in the charter, but it's not really specified as a
requirement.

Yes it seems to make sense to do it on a sub-project basis.  If you're not
an active committer for the code, you shouldn't really care how it is
formatted.  :)
