Lifetime study group

I suggest we do not try to reinvent the wheel.
Simply take a look how existing, large communities do this kind 
of work.

Example: https://jcp.org/en/jsr/all

For each large feature (a good example in the D case would be 
pattern matching, allocators, reference counting, additional 
garbage collectors, etc) a special working group should be 
formed. With initial working group owner who manages the group 
(adds other owners, collaborators, or some other types of users). 
Each group would work at own pace until they come up with a good 
design, and after that the group does the implementation as well. 
Each group would have own repository where they commit their 
work. Organising such groups can be uniform (something I think is 
better), or each group organises itself.

Naturally, it is probably a full-time job for someone to 
coordinate with groups, does overall monitoring, etc.

Each group can, and probably will, gain interest of the academic 
world, something we should encourage, and help PhD/MSc students 
jump in relevant groups to the benefits of both.

Also, each working group can be tied to a GSoC project, mentored 
by people from the community.

This will add an extra level of seriousness to the D project as I 
prefer to call it.
