And if they don't take the trouble of submitting things to the patch

Patches can also introduce bugs. A known bug with workarounds in
better than unknown bugs, IMHO.
Plus the patch tracker is how patches get into Miller's code.
In the end, it looks like the patch tracker is the real source code
management system of pure-data whereas SVN/GIT are largely irrelevant.
The patch tracker is a tool for tracking bits of code. It has a
useful forum interface for discussions on the topic, and allows people
to see what's pending, what's accepted, rejected, etc. SVN/GIT does
not do those things.
