First of all, we should ensure that no new trailing whitespace is added.
Otherwise, your effort is futile. The recently added file
src/sage/rings/valuation/valuation_space.py is a bad example.
I recall that we had a discussion about autogenerated patchbombs not so
long ago. I think it's a bad idea because it can potentially generate a
lot of silly merge conflicts. Why not remove it as part of the usual
workflow, for example when refactoring something anyway? I generally
don't mind if a ticket makes a bunch of whitespace changes (as long as
it's not dominating the diff).
By the way, the situation is not too bad: only 19 files have 20 or more
lines with trailing whitespace. One file that stands out is
functions/piecewise_old.py with 244 lines.
