I made a PR once, it sat long enough that it needed a rebase, 
which I did. Then it sat so long again that it needed another 
one. I lost interest as a result of dlang's lack of interest and 
now I'm pretty sure it's one of those that needs a rebase again. 
Why the fuck should I or anyone else bother? It's a mess that was 
created due to lack of management. And certain individuals refuse 
to acknowledge said issue as they pull up stats on how many pull 
requests get merged in (basically just the ones that the dlang 
team merge on their own due to their connections).
