14 months ago I started a Bazaar branch for an amended version of the CC Mode based D Mode to ensure that I had a version that worked in Emacs 23.  cf.   https://code.launchpad.net/emacs-d-mode I haven't done anything with it since as my need for D went away with the non-starting of a start up.

I think using a wiki to store code is anathema and asked about getting http://prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?EditorSupport/EmacsEditor and http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?EditorSupport/EmacsDMode changed. In the end no-one other than me seemed interested so I didn't bother doing any amendments.  There is also http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/DMode but that didn't get changed either.

If there is some desire to improve the D Mode then there is already a start.  I am not wedded to Bazaar and Launchpad, it was just tools of the moment.  No need to move to Git and GitHub or Mercurial and BitBucket, but if a move is desired so as to get an active community of people contributing changesets, then it is fundamentally trivial at this stage of the branches life.
