Provide Design Stencils
Design stencils would make it easier to use your patterns in design. For example Yahoo! provides a stencil kit which is mapped to the patterns in their library: http://developer.yahoo.com/ypatterns/wireframes

We’ll take this under consideration later.

Pros and Cons-section for each pattern
Add a new section to all pattern, which discusses the usability of each pattern. Something more descriptive than "Why?" section you already have. That would give more credibility to your patterns and would help people to decide whether to use or not to use a pattern.

Custom fields
Would be great if Admins could define new fields, remove or rename field labels in existing form.

We started implementing this now, but since this is a rather big change, it will take a while until this gets published.

We should consider this when we have more patterns.

Add multiple images to the same library at once
Adding multiple examples to the same library at once makes it easier to add patterns, so the libraries wil get more great examples as well

We use Tumblr blog which doesn’t support email subscription, but I could use Feedburner with it which has this feature. I need to do some research on this.

Tag Example screenshot with multiple patterns, so you don't have to upload the same image twice
Most patterns are related to other patterns, it would be nice to use an already uploaded image for another pattern as well.

Option to print a library of patterns
It'd be great if you added an option to print your library so you can have it always at hand, comment on it and share it with your team :-)

I like the idea. There’s a lot of things on our todo-list currently, but we’ll take this under consideration a bit later.

"Send for review" goes to my team, not for inclusion in public list
Want to attach status to patterns. Such as DRAFT, ARCHIVE, FOR REVIEW, or FINAL. For review should send to internal pattern team (specified admins), not to public list. Desire is not to include patterns in public list.

Digg.com style voting on patterns
New patterns submitted by users could appear in the “Upcoming patterns-list” where other users can review them and vote the patterns to be published they like best. If the pattern receives enough votes, it is promoted as “approved” and gets officially published.

Interesting idea an this will be considered in the future.

Comment segment for a private pattern library
I want to comment the whole private pattern library, not just the patterns. This should help in communication.

Custom Domain Name
Like many other web services, it would be nice to specify a custom domain name for a Patternry pattern library.

Make it easy to invite friends & colleagues
This should be a no-brainer. I want to invite friends & colleagues to use this tool, but I don't see anywhere to do so. This is definitely the type of app where that would make sense. I see where I could invite colleagues to a shared workspace, but I suspect as a product, design and dev team we'd want to try the product out individually first.
