This post discusses how to streamline the other way - extracting code from a fragmented and longish SE answer but I imagine a two-way workflow like:

Fashion an answer/question in an SE-templated notebook with a submit button that converts both text/input cells into their SE equivalents. The notebook could also be effectively uploaded to SE by having the conversion include a link back to a public repository to which the original notebook is also sent.

    $\begingroup$ There isn't a convenient/standardized way yet, but see a couple of ideas that Sjoerd and belisarius have been toying with here to attach a notebook as a gif (not convert to SE style) $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I was also thinking about it, and this was one of the reasons I started the code formatter project, since appropriate code formatting is one of the essential parts. I have it high on my todo list to debug the current formatter and adopt it to SE format, and in general I think we are coming closer to the point when we accumulate enough tools to make such thing possible. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ What additional features to this: 100127 are you looking for? Probably an automatic images uploading, right? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Kuba This was the first question I posted on SE and something many people seem to have considered then and since but alas still no ongoing solution. Your initial stab is already v. handy though - I've made some comments at your Markdown answer. $\endgroup$
