I wouldn't't limit points 1 and 7 to Phobos. Hosting a publicly readable
vcs for DMD's frontent, so that everybody can see individual changes - not
only the changes lumped together for each new release - and compile the
frontend. This should result in cleaner code* and potentially more
contributors.
