Assault & battery on pull requests

I've been looking at 6000+ messages about dlang pull requests and their
associated chatter during the past couple of days. While at it I pulled
a bunch of requests, and by this I'm asking you to join me.
I have accumulated a bunch of insight in short term memory, among which
(1) people are happy to work on a variety of things if given just a
little vision and guidance; (2) it is more difficult yet more productive
in the long run to shepherd a weak submission with good parts to
completion, than to dismiss it for its defects; (3) being able to drain
the request pipeline effectively is key to D's success.
Please join me in reviewing submissions to
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/. It doesn't matter if you're
on the commit team - you only need to be on github, and any meaningful
review matters. This is much more important, and offers a lot more
leverage, than spending the same time posting on the forum.
After my review binge, Phobos open pull requests are 44, a historical
low. Please hop on and let's drain that pipe entirely!
Thanks,
Andrei
