ownCloud is a very fast-moving project. The code style [*] was specified not 
that long ago, and there's still a lot of code that needs to be "corrected". 
Whenever a developer or a potential contributor has the time and sees the 
chance for correcting the code style, a pull request for that is much 
appreciated.

KDEs Kate/KDevelop also has some nice tricks for that.

I guess the same applies for all projects regardless of the language used. As 
mentioned PRs are welcomed. Best practice would be to limit them to one 
class/file as it makes them easier to review.
