I'm just curious if we need permission to commit whitespace (Tabs Vs Spaces) fixes to files... any one see any reason we should seek permission, no changes are made to the code itself... so nothing should break.

I think it'd be common courtesy to notify the maintainer before or just after you make the change. It might not be a pleasant surprise when you go to check out your code again and suddenly spacing is screwed up in your editor and you don't know why. But I'm not the one that makes policy, so this is, of course, just my 2 cents.

Yes, I never said that contacting the maintainer shouldn't be done. But do we need permission? - Davey
