Linus Torvalds. He appears to be good at almost everything; C programming, project management, architecture, writing emails, etc.

how can you be good at "writing emails"?

Clear writing communicates complex ideas effectively and drives endeavors more than we give it credit for. Most emails I receive are longer than they ought to and makes N recipients spend T additional time to finally get the wrong idea and diverge in execution. More rambling emails are sent to align people. The sender can prevent this upstream by writing in a "clear, concise, complete, correct" way.

This is valid for issues/bug reports/feature requests/user stories, etc.
