Isn't that exactly what the author was saying?

Typically, the serverguide suffers from a complete lack of subject matter
expert contributions to its content. However in this case it has benefited
from excellent contributions and revisions from a senior virtualization
developer.

We, the documentation team, are so very grateful, and I refuse to forward
your unkind e-mail to him.

However, if you have a suggestion as to how these particular sentences
should be revised, please send them for our consideration.
