Shows that the activity got lower last 12 months compared to the 
same period last year. (186 commits vs 288 commits, mostly 
explained by less commits from Ludwog S., as he noted in this 
topic)

But D does not get less popular so this leads to an expected 
growth of issues reported.
Other fact: people don't close their "BS" issues. When they are 
in front of a problem they got angry and report/ask a Q. without 
thinking more and never come back. Among 351 issues 12% are 
certainly to be closed, examples:

- https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/353
- https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/326
- https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/295
- https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/524
- https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/415 (imo)
- https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/615
- https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/606
- https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/626
- https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/736 (this is a dup)
- https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/729
- https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/789 (because of IDEs and 
many debates here)
- https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/867 (stick to semVer and 
other FR exists)
- https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/1018 (FR exists that ask 
for -b and -a)
- etc

All non-trivial projects have this problem. Issues are not well / 
not aggressively-
enough managed.
