Oh, it absolutely is a team effort already, and that "will
unfortunately take" should have been a "might unfortunately
take". It's just that Kai Nacke has been focusing on Win64 and
PPC64 lately, while Alexey Prokhin is planning to look into
fixing our general EH codegen (including exception chaining). And
somebody needs to sit down and do the boring work of getting all
the test cases to work (again) after a merge has been done.
But the best way to change that would definitely be for somebody
to jump in the cold water and help out with development. Doing a
front-end merge (resp. the clean-up work after one) specifically
is a great way to get started with development, as you usually
get in contact with a number of different areas of frontend and
glue code in the process. I think that's also how I got started
with LDC development.

Yes, you are, whether voluntarily so or not. :P
