one issue that stands out in the case of expr is that its official manual and code distribution is hosted in sharok's website, so I guess he needs to be involved.

Great, I'll try to remember all bugs I found and test the object for even more issues that there may be and then report them.
But I'd still like to know if anyone can fix this. I'm not sure how the authorship works in this particular example. I know it's an "extra" feature in vanilla, not maintained by miller, and it has a different license than Pd's.
Well, maybe I could generalize this issue to any other objects and libraries, because I see many of them marked as being maintained by some people, but they don't really seem to be so in the real world. Another example is that I pointed a bug about [partconv~] to the author/maintainer and he said he was aware of it but "didn't have time to work on it"... so, can they all be fixed and maintained by anyone? should we revise the externals and libraries to see if we see new maintainers or mark them as unmaintained?
I ask this because I'm realy considering facing the challenge of learning more about programming and helping out.
cheers

So, what could we do?
in any case make a bug-report at sourceforge, so the information can be collected in a central place. usually, this makes it to not miss an issue (e.g. a bug report is only closed once it is resolved; not because i 'accidentally' marked my email as "read" after reading it). btw, all bug-reports that are opened on sf, will be automatically forwarded to the (dev) mailinglist, so people get aware of it promptly.
