To be honest there is no need for dub registry at all. Vim plugin 
managers can pull plugins from every github repository. 
Javascript ended up with 10 dependency managers every of which 
has its own registry (and npm as the most official of them). And 
the js case will happen to D aswell if it become more popular.
