I began putting together an initial checklist of potential automatable C++ style and design checkers via a clang AST parser at https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/BestPracticeHandbook. The idea was that people could submit their library, and get it scored and ranked on a dashboard. All automated. Even better, non-Boost library authors could use the same system as tuneups for their own code - a solution truly serving the C++ community at large, not just yet more Boost parochialism.
It was not warmly received by the community. I got publicly accused of all sorts of malevolent behaviours, so I abandoned the effort and moved onto more productive uses of my time.
Wow. Boost community is so harsh, unfair and narrow. I must say I'm amazed with your persistence in communicating with it - it sounds like it's a pure waste of your time.
