I know of the new DIP process and that Mihails is running it:

https://github.com/dlang/DIPs

That's great, but I'm referring to the community helping Mihails 
more.  Here are the counts for how many DIP PRs the above 
well-known community members commented on:

Mihails: 12 
https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/pulls?utf8=✓&q=is%3Apr%20dicebot
Jonathan: 0 
https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/pulls?utf8=✓&q=is%3Apr%20jonathan
Timon: 0 
https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/pulls?utf8=✓&q=is%3Apr%20timon
Steven: 1 
https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/pulls?utf8=✓&q=is%3Apr%20steven
Amaury: 2 
https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/pulls?utf8=✓&q=is%3Apr%20deadalnix

This is not meant as a criticism of those people: it's merely a 
random sample of outspoken forum members, to show that Mihails 
could use some help.  My own count is 0, I'll try to change that.

More people from the forum who feel strongly about changes should 
chip in and help Mihails, that's all I'm saying.
