Perhaps I missed this thread, but what standards are there? Link to doc?

And, I just talked with my developer, and he got quite upset about the idea of fixing his code to conform to your coding style. So I guess that won't be possible for now. I certainly understand why you have coding guidelines, I agree they are important. I would have happily paid my developer to bring his code in line with your standards.
Sorry, but that's non-negotiable. I know that you understand, but for the record, I'm not just stroking my ego. Coding standards are critical for long term maintenance. Without a standard, the readability of the code goes to hell and code is read orders of magnitude more often than it's written. Adhering to the guidelines (hobgoblins notwithstanding) is our responsibility to those that come after us.
It's unfortunate that your developer can't adapt to the Mailman coding
style. I work on tons of open source software, and of course lots of
software at my job, and each project has its own coding guidelines. "When in Rome..." is the operative phrase here.
Hopefully someone else will adapt the code to the style guide.
