Per issue patches.

  1. Identify a problematic practice.
  2. Fix all occurances of this single practice.
  3. Submit a patch for the code.
  4. Submit a patch for the coding guidelines.

  *. Iterate from (1) with another problematic practice.

It is much easier to focus on one problematic practice, when creating
and reviewing patches.
