But I don't use Dub or Git submodules. I use R's package manager, 
which is both well-documented and does not require the user to 
write a configuration file to use the package. Of course that is 
not an option for very many D users.

I guess the bigger problem is that Dub is allowed to be the 
official package manager even though nobody bothered to write 
real documentation. In other communities, contributions have to 
meet standards for both code and documentation.
