When the policy is to refuse any patch that don't add or fix any 
functionality, and to refuse any part of a patch that doesn't add or fix 
any functionality, and to aim for the smallest patches possible, the whole 
project necessarily decreases in some form of quality that users are 
oblivious to, but that determines the level of difficulty of any further 
improvement.

Switching to svn or git doesn't fix policy problems.

No. Patches to Pd itself are all assumed to be SIBSD'd unless explicitly 
stated otherwise, and I have never seen someone requesting to add GPL'd 
code directly into Pd.
