Thank you for raising awareness of this! It'd be great to see 
more awareness for dub from people not intimately familiar with D.

I also currently have a PR pending with dub-registry[1] to add a 
download stats API, so that we could have the same badges as all 
of the other package managers. As soon as that PR gets merged, a 
friend and I are going to PR download and version badges to 
shields.io directly. The other common badge type, whether or not 
dependencies are up to date, could also be pretty trivial to add 
to the API.
