At the moment it is just me working on DDT in any significant way 
(although Gyula Gubacsi aka progician has submitted some code). But I do 
plan and expect to work on it at least until the 1.0 milestone, which I 
consider to be a highly stable and usable state: Concretely, this means 
having debugger support, and updating/reimplementing the parser so that 
it is stable, recognizes the newer D2 language features, and is easy to 
modify (see 
http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/ddt/issues/list?can=2&q=parser )

I really can't quite say how long it will take until this point is reached.
