Truth be told the wiki page is a bit misleading:

std.compression.lz77 - might be ready for review (as in code) but needs 
to address fundamental design decisions and get the right interface for 
all streaming (de)compressors.
std.idioms - a great idea but at the moment it hardly pulls its weight 
providing only a couple of helpers

That IMHO leaves 2 non-controversial items on the plate:
std.d.lexer and std.serialize
that would be great to review. Or in case of std.serialize re-review.

For other stuff would be important to know what the true status is.

Nope.

Then you would need to design a new std.json or land a hand in such a 
project.
std.serialization should simply use it then as a backend not the other 
way around.

Well previously reviewed std.uni got pulled recently. Things are moving 
but slooowly.
