Documentation is only one part of problem. Every time when I want to 
contribute to D(dmd, druntime + phobos) it takes hours(days) of 
persuasion of myself.

Adding some new feature or fix something new is generaly easy (still it 
is useless hard), but when I want to find out regression it is really 
annoying and I often give up.
