"We'd take a PR" is a great line for someone who's already sold on the concept, but it's not super helpful for flaws in your marketing. Reading OP, it doesn't sound like they trust you enough to find it to be worth their time fixing your examples for you.

Yes, this is fair.

Though I'm not sure how to find consensus on what is the best representation of SQL without asking folks to make a reviewable suggestion.

I had thought the examples are currently in their clearest state — I definitely don't think it's obvious that bunching lines up makes things look better.
