This isn't really a matter of patience; it's been far too long than it needs

If it's getting authors' permission, let them know you're posting the parts
and give 'em a day to respond.

If it's the effort to distribute, heck, put them in a bare, readable HTTP
directory a la CPAN.

People, including myself, are getting pretty impatient with the system.
Parts authors must be getting upset that their works have no audience.  This
doesn't have to be difficult.
