Not that I know - it's a classic way to start an argument :)

General rules (of open source) are:

* Adhere to the style of the file you're editing.
* Don't commit sweeping reformatting with any other modification.
* Don't impose your editor on others.
* Just do it; aka 'at the end of the day we're volunteers, and someone
who's prepared to do something generally has the moral advantage'.

The main pain point I imagine are that if you do some work and hit
ctrl-f (or whatever it is; I've not used Eclipse/Intellij for a long
time :) ), and it reformats, then you need to load a clean version,
reformat and then commit so your work and the reformatting aren't all
mixed together. That's the main thing that will get tuts and
complaints. :)
