What do you think about treating DMD v2.100.x as an LTS release?

It is really difficult to identify changes and how they apply to 
different versions. Having a target LTS is good as it provides  a 
version to evaluate if a bug fix can be applied.

If a few people are interested, they could track the bug fixes 
applied to mainline and try to apply them to the 100.x. This 
person does not need to come up with the fixes, even just taking 
one that integrate cleanly would be beneficial.

I would expect that it would not add too much work for a release.
