Looking at other languages that have similar process. Python's 
PIPs are probably the closest to DIP. Two observations:

1. Python as clean tooling around PIPs. We should render PIPs 
from the dlang/DIP nicely at dip.dlang.org (My understanding that 
repository is now favored over wiki entries).

2. Python DIPs are Guido's main focus of work. Maybe we can write 
a bot mailing current in-process DIPs on a weekly basis to the 
mailinglist as digest to remind Walter, Andrei and others to 
reviewed. The list should ordered by last comment/review on it. I 
am not 100% aware of all the edge cases of the process and have a 
terrible track record of implementing things I say i will 
implement, but I can give such a mailing bot a try, by scaping 
dlang/DIP.

3. It would be great to be clear if the people who can accept a 
DIP reviewed it and what the current suggested improvements are 
so we can make constant head-way.
