I'm slightly confused. What repository is this intended for?
gentoo.git.
Then it looks wrong, conceptually. Or would it be o.k. if I committed
ebuild-mode.el to the top-level directory of the Gentoo repository?
I do not think the comparison with ebuild-mode.el is sound:
ebuild-mode.el appears imperative, while .editorconfig is declarative.
Furthermore, and more importantly, ebulid-mode.el is (more or less)
editor-specific, while .editorconfig is editor agnostic.
That said, given how coupled ebuild-mode is with gentoo.git, I
personally would not mind if it where managed in the same repository.
(with ebuild-mode not being shipped to the users as part of "emerge
--sync"). One could imagine that if a major ebuild style change is
rolled out, it is done in a single commit that affects all ebuilds and
ebuild-mode.
In any case, I am a fan of .editorconfig. Hence +1 from me for adding it
to gentoo.git.
