Any objections to putting the quote in its entirety on the wiki for TUs?
None at all. :)
I was actually planning on making that my forum signature! :-P However, that is crucial information and needs to be included in the wiki.
Done. May need polishing =)

Sorry, but however awesome Sven is, that kind of content does not fit in that page. I have slightly changed the wording of the introductory paragraph for the "desired effect"; see wiki diff.
Understood =). The comment is still awesome though. Would it be acceptable for 'communicating with and sending patches upstream as needed' to contain a link to the ML post?
Sure. In fact, since there are no other examples I can recall for the sake of citation, that _was_ my intention (which somehow skipped my keyboard).
