Remember CLion is first and foremost a CMake based IDE that happens to have
excellent support for C and C++ files. Also Rust, and a whole load of other
languages for which there is a CMake build capability.

There is no "they" IntelliJ-DLanguage is a plugin for IntelliJ IDEA being
written by the D community, that is "you". Sadly, currently, only a couple of
people are putting in a bit of their spare time to keep the project moving. 

If more people in the D community had the attitude "I can help with that"
rather than "I wish they would so something", D tooling based on mainstream
infrastructure would be a lot better than it currently is.
