I think it's fair to say Linus has already proven his worth. But even the Linux kernel and git aside, the fact that people listen to him despite his frankness

  Agreed, just as it would be a fallacy to presume that one can't be both productive and polite, it would also be a fallacy to believe that being impolite immediately invalidates all productive endeavors. I'm not using this thread to try to tear Linus down, just trying to keep people from promulgating the myth that Linus' governance style is the only effective one. :P
