I'd put together a timeline for my LDC talk at DConf 2013: 
http://dconf.org/2013/talks/nadlinger.pdf

I don't have my old notes with the NG post links handy, but the 
relevant announcements shouldn't be hard to find knowing the year 
– you'd want to cross-check them anyway.

The Git history (which includes all the old SVN commits) should 
also be handy. As Iain mentioned, the first commit to the SVN 
repo was on September 1, 2007, which seems to have already 
compiled quite a bit of D code, judging from the test suite.
