It's not a bad idea generally, and it's definitely a great idea for the stated accessibility goals. I think they mostly just need to document the right .editorconfig settings to keep things readable in most editors, or even provide a tool to auto-update .editorconfig, perhaps. Relatedly, I wonder if some of the remarked upon issues with Github could be fixed on Github's side with increased .editorconfig support in repos.
