Not talking about your stuff in particular but in general - hell no. 
There is a line between accepting everything just because we can't lose 
the chance (hence current std.xml, std.json and other crappy stuff) and 
accepting decent stuff that was specifically following current Phobos 
idoms, was reviewed, etc. The latter puts quite a strain on the 
contributor and in the end should guarantee the quality of addition (and 
commitment to maintain it).

That being said once package manager is there tested and solid 3-rd 
party libs will flow. (tested & solid simply because of greater exposure 
factor)

I'd say if contributor can't be bothered to follow conventions and deal 
with the constraints imposed, just let him go. Coherency is all 
important in the core part of pretty much anything.
