Actually JIRA and GitHub are close to what we have on xwiki.org but not what we
have on XE. My point was to improve XE.

Possibly, yes. I’ve seen solutions that have both quotes and vertical lines but
I can’t find it again.

That’s a good idea. Having a {{quote}} macro is probably better though since
you can also have an optional “source” parameter and include it in the display.
Now that doesn’t prevent the quote macro from using a “quotes” class ;)
So to summarize, I’d agree to:
* Changing our style to be more like what we have on xwiki.org
* Creating a simple {{quote}} macro to use when the user wishes real quotes
symbols with a source
WDYT?
