I would argue that if the patterns were at a central location and heirs pop
up that they also would not know what to do with the patterns and the whole
lot would be at risk of going under a bulldozer load of dirt at county
landfill. Of course any holding patterns could put a sign on the box to
contact this list or three names of others to contact to transfer the
patterns.

The ease of a list with email capabilities is a great benefit of your
suggestion.
An advantage : no centralized location to have all the patterns at risk of
loss.
A disadvantage : The pattern falling into the hands of heirs with no idea
what
it is or what to do with it/them.
