There is a title for that already in the IT world: RELEASE 
MANAGER.

However, D project is chaos without any kind of management... 
Moving to GitHub improved little bit, but from a software 
engineering point of view it is far from a serious thing.

This "Agenda" is what agile world typically calls a 
SPRINT/ITERATION BACKLOG. As far as I know, nobody grooms the 
DMD/Phobos backlog, people take items they like, or feel 
challenged by.

I know many people have bad opinion about agile process tools 
such as Scrum, Kanban, XP, etc, but any organised way of doing 
things is better than chaos, unless you prefer the anarchy as 
seen in the Fred George's presentation (which I recommend - 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk-CF7klLdA). Do not get me wrong, 
I actually agree with Fred, but we do not have the environment 
that is clearly needed for his kind of "software anarchy".

Are bugzilla votes respected btw?
