Would it be feasible to have a log of all pd-ext libraries and their objects, each time a new stable version is released?
Such a list would probably be overwhelming, but at least a good place where to start.

Having a static table of objects that informs the user what's included in the
currently shifting target that is Pd-extended is the wrong approach.? My
solution would be to delete the entire table, but maybe someone else has
a better, less drastic idea.
Someone could easily script that, especially now that Jonathan has been adding the metadata to so many help patches, and almost all the libraries are in libdir format, which means every object has its own help patch. Then they could post that to a page on puredata.info, flossmanuals.net or on their own website.

jonathan has already wrote a script for that (I think), maybe it's better
to ask him directly.
besides that, the most "complete" list is my excel file, which was made by
manual copy-paste, and therefore will never be up to date.
How about making a script from Jonathan's script that generates a web page
with a table with all objects? That web page can be uploaded to
puredata.info, or even packaged with pd-ext.
Another thing would be a more complete list of categories, as the ones
from pd-van are even too few for its objects. There was at least one
discussion about it in the pd-dev list, but it besides some suggestions on
how to do it, no conclusions came out.

Yeah that was actually a pd patch that I have somewhere. Right now I'm revising my tcl search plugin so that you can get a list of all the libraries with a short description of what's in them. That, along with the ability to do full text search, keyword/author/xlet/license/description/alias search should be a lot more useful than a big list of 1000+ objects.

that sounds quite promising, thanks Jonathan... +1
