+1. I think it'd be nice if the commitfest app showed some sort of
indicator, too.

FWIW I've been using my own custom pgindent for a couple of months that is
much faster, which might be nice if we're going to start running it in CI.
I just haven't gotten to posting the patches. The main ideas are 1)
running in parallel and 2) parsing typedefs.list once per run. That pretty
dramatically decreases the duration of a whole-tree indent.
