I once had a similar PR in DMD to a potential 
`__traits(getFunctionBody, X)` for `__traits(documentation, X)`:

https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/6872

There was a bit of a forum discussion about it: 
https://forum.dlang.org/post/cwjtsmnwwwwepvgvlqcy@forum.dlang.org

The gist:

tl;dr: just Bugzilla won't do it. It will need a short DIP 
illustrating use cases. Sorry. Happy to implement it for you 
though.
