You are sending quite some amount of patches that do no functional
change.  That takes review time and adds a lot of unnecesary
communication.  While we appreciate patches, sending more and more small
patches that are not really needed is tiresome for most parties
involved.

If we stumple upon such typo or indentation, we either push it right
away as trivial (only if you have push access, though) or just keep it
in a separate branch and after a while, send it as a big patch which is
just one mail.  That way it doesn't take that much of a time and
resources.

Most of the time, though, the time spent on the typo/indentation fixing
could be spent on something better, more useful, and also rewarding.  So
most of the things get fixed just because someone has some patches
already in that area of code.

Have a nice day,
Martin

My issue with patches that only change formatting is that any touched 
lines will have the history of their last functional change obscured by 
the formatting change, making it more difficult to do forensic analysis 
of the reasoning behind the code's existence (which is often very useful 
when trying to fix a regression without causing a different regression). 
These changes can also e the cause of merge errors when backporting 
future bug fixes onto older maintenance branches.

Sometimes the advantage of making the change outweighs the potential 
extra burden, but not always. Clean consistent code is nice to have, but 
it doesn't need to be perfect.
