Sorry, I don't use emacs...

Not sure if it is RFC material, but you can definitely share it in 
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/HowToContribute 

You have summed up perfectly the most important coding conventions.

You have also probably noticed the nice visual ascii art that is generally 
prepended before each function/method :

/************************************************************************/
/*                               foo()                                  */
/************************************************************************/

And if you really want to confuse FrankW and make him believe he has written 
the code himself, you'd write if( foo ) rather than if (foo) ;-)
