Yes, I contacted them.  Initially I was trying to submit patches and 
stuff against the C++ version for improvements I was making there, but 
there doesn't seem to be anyone with write access who's interested in 
maintaining it right now.  They responded to my emails (eventually) but 
that was part of why I decided to just go ahead and port to D, the C++ 
version seems not to be much of a moving target now.

I also asked them if they would be interested in hosting the D port 
alongside the C++ port, but they said no.  Actually the one who 
responded to me only said "Good work -- never heard of this language.".

So I'm just going to put it on dsource.
