definitely stick to the forums if you prefer those, email is for if you dont. No I am not fussy about code styling if you are contributing to existing code, try to more or less match it, if you are contributing in a new file use whatever floats your boat since you will be maintaining it. If I take over maintenance, I might reformat, but i really dont care that much. there are some basic pep8 compliance checks via flake8 but I take care of those at merge time anyway.
plugins are definitely up to their maintainers.
there would be o point using mysql or whatever. The difficulties to making calibre multi-user beyond what it already is are not in the database layer. You already have fully capable multiple gui clients connecting to the server. The guis are just web uis, not native guis. And the server runs perfectly fine headless without any gui dependencies.
