It will have to be someone else (my spare time is currently 
exhausted).

It is really a matter of putting work into crafting a well 
thought out document that covers everything Walter would like to 
see happening. As long as one person has de facto veto power that 
is how it has to be, and it takes more work than a few hours.

Walter has stated quite clearly that he cares more about existing 
users than the users that D isn't capturing. People who use the 
language regularly have much less incentive to see changes as 
they already feel D is the best option. It is quite challenging 
to come up with a solution that would be market-oriented and also 
don't cause any friction with existing users.

I don't even know if Walter would have any interest in such a 
process.

I am not really sure if D is ready for a process like Python.
