Currently, Path Redirect has two separate "URL redirects" menu options: one in Site building that handles listing and changing redirects, and another in Site configuration that configures the basic behavior of the module. I suggest combining these into a single item in Site building, much like Pathauto does.
Pathauto is fully administered in Site building > URL aliases. Its last tab, "Automated alias settings," is similar to Path Redirect's page in Site configuration. If we apply Pathauto's admin structure to Path Redirect, we get the following tree:
Site building
URL redirects
List
Add redirect
Configure (or Settings or Redirect settings...)

dave reidI'm actually one step ahead of you. :) The inital idea was proposed in #267256: Merge admin pages and I think I agree with the approach. It's already changed on my local install and I'm about to commit it to 6.x-1.x. I think I'm pretty decided on using "Settings" since the core contact.module uses the same.

dave reidCommitted to 6.x-1.x. Thanks!

todd nienkerk commented@Dave: Awesome. Though I think you should consider using "Building," since that's where URL aliases (Path and Pathauto) lives, too. They'd stack up neatly on top of each other in the menu! :)

dave reid@Todd: It's going to be under the "Building" menu. I was referring to the tab name, "Settings". The path of the new settings page is stacked nicely at admin/build/path-redirect/settings.
