probably not the idea of the year but...

std.data.yaml

I've seen recently that several people/companies have forked 
D-yaml because it's not maintained anymore. It could serve as a 
base for a higher quality version with for goal a quick 
integration in phobos (e.g xml2 is still not merged, maybe 
because the author had to start from scratch). If it's not enough 
work then an automated serialization system could be added as an 
extension. Not as an official D serialization format but as a 
simple thing that works out of the box (Nested aggregates, error 
handling).
