Really, the problem is that someone needs to take the initiative on this. They

go nowhere, because no one actually takes the initiative to do them. The
"wouldn't this be a good idea?" tactic doesn't tend to get very far, even if
everyone agrees, simply because someone has to put in the time and effort to do
it, and while people may think that it's a good idea, there are only so many
people working on Phobos and other D-related stuff, and there's a lot to be done,
and everyone has something that they'd like to see done, and _that_ is what
they're generally working on.

It's not that someone needs to take the initiative, it's just that there aren't that many D developers.  I hope things improve once GDC is officially part of GCC and D becomes available on all GNU/Linux OSs.  Another thing that might need to happen is for the D project to join The Software Freedome Conservancy (SFC) or form its own non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, similar to Python Software Foundation.

But that's just and I could be wrong.
