I've always thought #2 is especially important when the submitter 
is a beginner to either D, dmd/druntime/Phobos or the review 
process; we should aim to foster a culture where the barrier to 
entry is as low as possible. It's always nice to see more 
returning submitters.

Thanks for the reviews. It would be really awesome if we could 
get the queue under control. I feel we are heading there.
