The phobos devs or the dmd packager just have to grab code and 
docs they are interested in. It's open source; the author has 
already made it available. Drop it in the default import and lib 
paths and run.

It doesn't have to be a whole production.


Alternatively, we could beef up the code.dlang.org website to 
feature the most useful libraries and do some kind of automatic 
curation and evaluation coupled with nice presentation and search 
there.

(or both)

I have some ideas for code.dlang.org and emailed them during the 
google summer of code process last time, and have even considered 
doing it myself, but I don't really have time for it right now...

But even basic stuff like taking the download count (available on 
the existing dub rest api) and using it to weigh in some ranking 
algorithm might help, and showing more info about subpackages and 
documentation would definitely be nice, and encourage users to 
add tutorials to the site and get them searchable.
