It's easiest to start in staging/.  Staging is less picky.

Generally the rule in staging is to pick one kind of white space problem
and fix it throughout the file.  But really just consider it from a
reviewer perspective and do something that makes sense.

Sign up for the staging email list and review other newbie patches.

It's more interesting to focus on bugs.

The patch is white space damaged and doesn't apply.  I have no idea what
you were fixing.
