If this was the last issue left, then I'd work on it. But there are
other, far more important, things to be working on.

Reorganizing the internals of the compiler is not just accepting a patch.
I've incorporated many user patches to dmd. The source doesn't need to
be on dsource for that.
It's not like there's a shortage of things users can work on to improve
D. Frank Benoit, for example, tells me there's a huge need for help with
dwt, and dwt can turn out to be a big factor in making D a success.
GDC has fallen behind and could use some TLC.
Writing articles, books, papers, and tutorials for D will help a lot.
