Patches can also introduce bugs.
Right. Such as the first version of my fix. I could have submitted that to the patch tracker as well. I don't think that you should rely on submission to the patch tracker as a sign of quality at all, even if there's somewhat a correlation. If you want quality, you ought to find it by other means.
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.
Exactly. And then if I think about what would be different if the SVN was replaced by a FTP, I'm led to believe that it wouldn't make much of a difference : pure-data is not really "using" SVN.
