does it scale to have 1 person approve of all phobos additions?

Perhaps the lesson of Python, which always used to be "batteries included",
but now clearly is not, especially given PyPI, is that D/Phobos should not be
"batteries included".

Go, Ceylon, and Rust are clearly going the route of "no way is the
distribution batteries included, but look at the repositories for the good
stuff". Go relies on DVCS only. Ceylon and Rust have Herd and crates.io
respectively as central semi-managed repositories. And Rust supports DVCS.

D has the Dub repository, so why is Phobos being "batteries included" even an
issue now?
