Can't speak for the DConf discussion, but to my mind, the criterion shouldn't be 
"Have they proven popular on code.dlang.org?" but, "Does the design look 
promising and is it likely to be of broad interest?"

Requiring people to prove themselves in a popularity contest first seems to me 
to get in the way of the aim to have a fast-moving, 
able-to-quickly-get-user-feedback-and-make-breaking-changes part of the standard 
D toolchain.
