Not much of one. They have yet to apparently delay any noxious-to-US-authorities features or bugfixes, and Gavin's past actions indicate he feels more beholden to the miners than the authorities

But the miners aren't on the Bitcoin Foundation board. MtGox, BitInstant and CoinLab have their representatives on the board.

Gavin also acted under immense timepressure in the 0.8 fork case.

Gavin also acted under immense timepressure in the 0.8 fork case.

His recompense was done afterwards, where he could repent at leisure; during the fork, of course, he was quite busy.
