I am quite certain, that the content indentation conceptually and
technically belongs to the buffer containing the src block. Except for
src blocks containing org I see no point at all for setting a content
indentation in an edit buffer for the block. There just is no meaning of
an org src content indentation in e.g. an Elisp buffer.

And for an src buffer containing org the meaning would be the content
intentation for the org in the block, and not for the org containing the
block.

Nicolas already accepted the patch. Currently it is included as commit
3649d95b in the history of master. Before accepting the patch, he too
asked for a use case. Please see

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2019-11/msg00052.html

for the answer.

Best wishes
Sebastian
