from devel/STYLE:

* Indent is 4 spaces with mixed tab/spaces and a tab width of 8.
  (Specifically, a line should begin with zero or more tabs followed
  by fewer than eight spaces.)

that _should_ be enforced by devel/uncrustify.cfg

On the other hand, there are also no doubt places in the code where this
rule is not adhered to. At the risk of being clichéd, whitespace fixup
patches are welcome.

Finally, it might help to have some settings whatever editor you are
using. I'm happy add a file to add a project .vimrc [1] (or whatever editor
people are using) to complement the .dir-locals.el that is there.
