Call me an anarchist, but I believe that we can do it without an

respect. We've gotten this far with the whole Pd-extended collection
without an editor-in-chief.
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.
