It does not, but it strongly suggests it.  Since the organizations are
large and the code is open, a lot of people work on the code; low
coding standards would cause a mediocre product and the organization
would lose its profile.  That's my intuition.

But we can ask some mentors from last year if they were satisfied with
the code quality; for example, the gEDA people if you like.
