This is a problem with all software…. It is good you are making patches. But recall that in making you changes to support your equipment you might be breaking someone else's equipment.
My suggestion is that the ability to specify settings predefined levels of machines. Either by making an addition to the current gcode exporter, (dropdown list) or by making a separate RepRap exporter. By factoring out common code and placing a clean API on it.
So that RepRap users are not confused with 10 different gcode options they need to check. Please don't inconvenience other users by assuming that the gcode guys want fully compatible RepRap code cause my machine shop guys would be upset to not have the standard features, like variables.

You might want to make a github page (free) with a RepRap branch, a wiki is not a place for source control.
