These kinds of changes, and this is by no means the only one, are aimed
at bringing ‘standardization’ to all OpenStack projects. Unfortunately,
when all projects don’t agree with the attempt at standardization, we
end up with a lack of standardization across OpenStack.



How do we go about handling these kinds of changes that are causing a
fair amount of churn with little real benefit? Is there anything we can
do or is the best recommendation that projects just grin and bear it?

Love and hugs is probably the only solution.

Obviously different projects have different degrees of strictness on their .gitignore file.

As pointed out in another thread by you for something related, I can't remember exactly what that one was about but it was an unnecessary global change, the best you can probably do right now is education in the code review about why you disagree with the change.

I'm not sure if hacking runs on .gitignore files but it seems you could make that happen, and then add a rule to hacking, either in your project or globally, to fail pep8 if there are editor-specific files added to .gitignore.
