Yes, he's doing quite heavyweight stuff. I'd add that the other 
contributors are no slouches either.

Generally I must say the door of opportunity has not just opened - it's 
been blown off its hinges ever since we migrated on github. Since Jan 14 
when we started there, we've had on average more than two pull requests 
PER DAY, and that's not properly reflecting the accelerating pace in the 
recent couple of months.

This momentum is stronger than the most optimistic expectations. It 
seems to me that at this point it is crucial for the core team to be 
effective at reviewing merging pull requests quickly, with the help of 
the community. By this I'm suggesting anyone who has an interest in D to 
give a hand with reviewing and improving pull requests, and of course to 
create more of them.


Thanks,

Andrei
