I'm going to apply this, but something I thought of looking at
the diffstat: should some or all of this be in the docs/devel
manual rather than free-floating rst files in the root directory?

thanks

The answer really hinges on whether moving CODING_STYLE into the
docs/devel directory will make it less obvious to users.

On a related point, with the prevelance of github/gitlab for
hosting, it has become fairly common to have a top level
CONTRIBUTING.md file, with guidance of key factors relating
to contributing - how to submit patches, code of conduct,
developer signoff, coding style, etc. This file doesn't
have to contain the actual content - often people just use
it as an index to link to all the individual topic docs:

  https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md
  https://github.com/atom/atom/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md
  https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md
  https://github.com/creativecommons/.github/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

So we could just move CODING_STYLE into the docs/devel dir and link
to it from a CONTRIBUTING.md (well .rst) file.

Regards,
Daniel

A git symlink would allow us to keep the file at the top level (for easy
location while browsing the repository) as well as under docs (for easy
incorporation into the doc build recipes).  I don't know if tooling
would require the original in one place (forcing the other to be the
link), or if you can do it in either direction.

A textual link in an actual file is slightly different than a git
symlink, but yes, that would probably also work (even if it requires
chasing through one more layer of files).
