As soon as he's not in charge quality is going to go right to shit though.

He has taken several months-long breaks and things have been fine. There are other trustworthy devs (like Greg Kroah-Hartman) who he leaves in charge who do just fine at holding the line in his absence. They might not publicly shame bad pull requests as elegantly as Torvolds, but the kernel will probably be fine.

That my worry too.

Linus needs to be the first person whose brain is uploaded to a computer. He is simply too precious to lose.

That technology should run Linux. For stability.

What's stopping you from being him ?? I'm asking genuinely. Learn about Kernel maintenance
