There are many users who are used to the modern systems like Gmail - where no manual "save" is needed, but instead happens automatically when anything is changed - and are liable to miss the Save button anywhere at the bottom, especially on longer preference pages.In the RfC for userpreferences, I'd suggested that "The [Save button] is always visible/nearby" should be a high-priority goal. (Or, upgrading to an auto-save system). [1]
Having it at the top of the window would be ideal, and possibly even top and bottom, like so:
