Whoa! that auto-tester is pretty sharp!

I've actually been wondering about this. I recently ran into a 
bug in Phobos, quickly tacked that there was an issue for it, 
made an easy fix, submitted a pull request and commented on the 
bug. All tests in the above page are coming out green, so I guess 
I've got that going for it.

Is there some additional communication channel I need to notify 
for someone to have a look at it and at least comment on any 
errors/mistakes? Or am I pretty much stuck to wait for whoever is 
in charge of that module to run into it?
