Well, one issue that's happening is that every so often github pull 
requests that are simple but important (such as documentation) sit there 
without getting due review. The regular contributors are spending time 
looking into them, with takes away time from more important issues they 
could work on.

A dozen people are doing the simple work and the complicated work, while 
the rest of the forum sits on the sidelines wringing hands about what to 
do about the future of D.
