I believe source files use tabs. But you can always take a look at
wayland and weston source files to find it out yourself

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland/tree/
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/wayland/weston/tree/

Send git-formatted patches to this mailing list using "git-send-email(1)".

Not really sure about this, but people usually respond quickly and point
if something is done wrong or how it could be done better. You can
always take a look at mailing list archives to see how it was done in
the past.
