 From the README in the DIP repository:
https://github.com/dlang/DIPs

"Each DIP is steered through a process of public review by the 
DIP manager. Each stage of the process is intended to prepare the 
DIP for its ultimate evaluation by the language maintainers 
(Walter Bright and Átila Neves)."

This is how I've always defined the "process". Once it's in the 
maintainers' hands, the "process" is finished and the decision 
making gets underway. So yes, I want to make clear when people 
claim "the DIP process is broken" that no, it is not as far as I 
can see.
