@Sebastien: I think we should leave this as a papercut bug for now, part of the reason for the decline of the papercut project has been the lack of bugs to actually work on. Relaxing the criteria for a papercut has meant we have been more productive so far this release.
To be honest from my experience most papercuts are non trivial otherwise they would just have been fixed already.

Title:
  Word wrapping is not respecting indentation

Status in Light-Weight Text Editor for Gnome:
  New
Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
  Triaged
Status in “gtksourceview3” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gedit

  When wrapping a line it would be awesome to have gedit indent the
  wrapped line just like the original line.

  Imagine "_" being a space character, the current wrapping works like
  this

  ____hello hello hello hello hello
  hello hello hello

  It would be better if it worked like this:

  ____hello hello hello hello hello
  ____hello hello hello

  While editing this makes code-indentation readable even if the editing
  window is resized to be very narrow. It is also very helpful for
  unavoidable long lines, like regexps or URLs. It makes formatting less
  of a pain with generated code. etc etc etc

  KDE editor component and Eclipse both have this behaviour, it was also
  present in the famous EditPlus editor for Windows.

  I am sure i am not the first person requesting this feature, so i
  wonder if there is a philosophical stance against this wrapping style
  or if a plugin is available to handle it.
