The above "we value consistency" should be already inferrable by reading
SubmittingPatches and CodingStyle in reverse?  If it were up to the
contributors to ignore them, there is no point to have these guides to
begin with.

If we want to keep these words somewhere, I think the place to put it
would probably be the Policy section of Doc/howto/maintain-git.txt.
