I'm not sure this paragraph is an improvement; it seems a little less easy to read and more verbose.

Not sure this is clearer.

Could also mention the productivity notes in doc/. I like the original text better, however, as the links docs don't contain "all" about contributing.

Is there a use case for this, for the typical user? If not, maybe it should be optional and disabled by default?

Suggest running `test/lint/lint-whitespace.py` on this change to appease the lint CI.

FWIW it looks like this section dates back to 2012 or earlier!

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more
pull requests than we can review and test. Please be patient and help
out, and remember this is a security-critical project where any
mistake might cost people lots of money.

>Can you explain your reasoning for wanting to split it up? I'd prefer to keep them together only because I see no reason to merge sending without receiving support in Bitcoin Core.

1. The sooner sending is supported everywhere, the sooner it is *practical* for people to use it for receiving. Might as well get that ball rolling ASAP.
2. Sending support means the BIP isn't going to change under me (and break compatibility / risk coin loss) if I merge things in Knots first.

A few more suggestions.

Just one opinion: in dark mode, which I use exclusively, I find the emojis are large and highly distracting from the text. If others agree, maybe remove them or make them smaller.

We use the https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository solely for GUI development. Its master branch serves as a clone in all monotree repositories. It doesn't have release branches and tags, so it's only useful to fork it for development purposes.

Suggest dropping either "Important:" or "Please note," -- both seem to be too much.

Probably should be called `-stratumv2port`, unless it supports specifying an IP to bind to (probably a good idea)
