In 2013 KolibriOS, an open-source Operation System written in
Assembly, applied for GSoC and was rejected as well. They went to
Kickstarter, and raised money for their own SoC:

Should we try doing the same for D?

The web interface for the mailing list includes email addresses:

http://lists.puremagic.com/pipermail/digitalmars-d-announce/2014-March/date.html

Also, I think if you log into the webforum, it might have a link for the raw posting source including email addresses, but I don't log in so I can't say for sure.

Thanks for that link.  I use the web forum exclusively, and I am usually logged in when I post, and I couldn't seem to find a email addresses for other posters.
