Unless one considers you to be the pd-extended editor-in-chief. ;) An editor-in-chief wouldn't need to be a real person. A wiki page or a textfile in cvs/svn would be enough plus some simple rules. Registering a namespace name would be as simple as writing the name one wants to use plus a contact in there. Possible simple rules could be: * announcements should go to pd-dev before registering. * otherwise first come, first serve. * everthing that starts with "NAME/" is reserved to the registered project. * every class that is registered should always be used with "NAME/". Additionaly rules could be: * NAMES must start with letter or digit and be all lowercase. * NAMES starting with an _underscore are for private use (and cannot be registered) Only remaning issue would be that generic/functional names like "math" or "std" or "pd" are tricky, because they might be needed for a real std-namespace later. Vendor-based names like "footils" are easier in this regard, but mnemonics are worse.
