Well the capacities that dlang-community can maintain are limited 
as well, so I'm not sure whether it's a good idea to advertise it 
so openly as a "free service", but I agree that it currently has 
too little presence (and maintainers). We generally only move a 
package if there's a volunteer in dlang community that actually 
is interested in maintaining the library (though it's not hard to 
become such a volunteer).
