Agreed.

Whatever that standardized indenting style then is, it should then be
encoded in .gitattributes. Our editorconfig file is generated based on
that using src/tools/generate_editorconfig.py.

I think in any case that script should be update to add some "DO NOT
MODIFY MANUALLY! GENERATED USING src/tools/generate_editorconfig.py "
header to the resulting editorconfig file. Because I agree that's not
clear at the moment.
