Oh hey :-) I applied your patches for ddbc and hibernated a to my 
copy while back, because they weren't merged and fix real issues.
There are also other patches floating around, for example people 
will really want 
https://github.com/KrzaQ/hibernated/commit/efa38c50effdd77e973b174feea89016b8d1fa1f applied when using hibernated.

If there is enough interest, we can maybe provide at least some 
basic level of maintenance for these projects together, maybe 
under the dlang-community umbrella or similar.
Per adoption guidelines[1], I think the projects are popular 
enough, but Hibernated is of course not the only D ORM (although 
a pretty complete one), and the continued maintenance is also not 
sure, even when PRs finally get reviewed and accepted faster (but 
that really depends on the library users).

In any case, we need to get in contact with buggins. I asked him 
ages ago about Hibernated on Gitter, but that was probably the 
worst way to contact him (as he is active on Github, but probably 
never read that message).
