I think this is only a good idea if there were already problems, that 
other developers broke things ... which I cannot really remember.
If not, it will only prevent some people from developing, trying to 
improve other code, improving the build system etc.

I see your point, but I think this is more appropriate for a project, 
where you really have some core developers (or maintainers) which work 
quite a lot on the code - but I don't think that it is like that in pd!
(exception: millers main, maybe the pd-extended-release branch from hans 
and pd-devel-core)
