How exactly does a system to tracking patches and bugs/fixes (not to mention helping Linus and Ted) not help developers? In other words, it is meant to help all three entities.
Anyway, I understand your request, but it's not my call. Obviously, it's better if patches successfully apply to the live tree the first time, but aside from that, it doesn't have much effect on the mechanics of the patch management system.
