I agree. +1

I'm against adding more groups, but in case of DUB I think it should be fine, and as you mentioned, GUI instead of DWT would be more reasonable.

Anyone looking for a previously asked question is going to have to use a search anyway. I've never been to a forum to ask a question, and just looked at the most recent topics to see if anyone's ever asked/answered that question.

Dub has a dedicated subdomain: code.dlang.org.

It has a link on the front page: "DUB - The D package registry"

I don't think it can be more official than that.

I didn't think of it as "official" until the recent debate. YMMV. The look and feel is completely different and it even has its own forum.
