 The word 'Authority' has a downside effect I didn't even expected, 
because it has an explicit sociological connotation linked to 'superior 
authority' that doesn't even make sense into the context of gnu softwares.
 By the way of authority, I mean coordinator(s) that has access to 
net-pd archives, cvs, or anything, and would communicate with patch 
authors about things that work, and other things that don't work. Maybe 
it's too much demanding, especially if there are not a lot of people 
that has access to the dev/distribution of the main net-pd patches.
