No, I was only talking to myself.  There are many patches around and
they don't get the bug testing they would need.

I know about two working "methods": 

    - many developers, large user bases.  Examples would be Linux,
      KDE, Gnome, Mozilla, - there are some more I'm sure.

    - one devoted proficient developer with the required time to
      care for the project.  Examples would be Vim, MikTeX, perhaps 
      a few others.

Now, to which one NEdit belongs to?  Or, to say it in a direct way,
even if there would be a roadmap, method, or whatever, what difference
does it make for an average open source project?

The "random way" isn't a preference -- it's a consequence.
