Something I've thought about but haven't suggested up to now is making 
dub-repo to support personal projects.
Basically one repo per person preconfigured if e.g. Github/Bitbucket is 
specified.

github.com/rikkimax/dubcode

Just as an idea for what I'm meaning url wise.

So then when specifying a dependency in dub, its just a matter of saying 
<person>:<subproject>

It would also help with people having there own util libraries all listed.

Of course then you'd only have to dump your code in there and have a dub 
file with each file being its own sub package.

Seems simple to implement, but idk if it is the answer.
