Start by reading README* and HACKING.
The GNU Coding Standards has plenty of useful background info.
Run "info standards" or see http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/.

As discussed, I'd rather not change the default output.
stat can now print the mount point of a file via its new %m format directive

Oops. Your patch would revert the two recent additions to NEWS,
above and below.

Your brace-using style is inconsistent with the rest of the code.
Drop them in this case, since those are one-line "if" and "else" bodies.

We don't use this style of comment.
Remove the "*" on continued lines.

You have reindented this function (changing
the brace positioning style to be contrary to the rest of coreutils).

Please remove this comment.
It duplicates the one in the .c file.

Once you've addressed all that,
(don't worry about a test. I'll add that)
you'll want to write a ChangeLog entry.
They're discussed in HACKING.
Run "git log|less" to see many examples.
