The GNU Coding Standards[1] are general guidelines whose purpose is to make the GNU system clean, consistent and easy to install; it's also a guide to writing portable, robust and reliable programs. The source code formatting rules are just a fraction of that. Currently, they are not requirements, although strongly encouraged by the GNU project. Other important guidelines are that the program should support a GNU build system (Window Maker already does) and, ideally, have a manual written in GNU Texinfo. The GNU Coding Standards is a rather extensive guide. The forthcoming GNU maintainer should not feel pressured to read and comply to it altogether beforehand --- we will tell you if something relevant is incorrect or missing, so you can make the package increasingly compliant on request.
