To Walter

I have posted 130 pulls on github in a year, but about forty ones are
still opened.
I'd like to increase speed of merging, but I don't know the way to realize it.
What is the necessary?

- D1 patch?
  Today only Walter improvements D1 branch. Almost dmd pulls only
consider D2 branch. Should we add D1 patch at the same time?

- Reviewing?
  Almost dmd pulls doesn't have been reviewed by other dmd commiters.

- Conflicting?
  Almost patches uses runnable/xtest46.d, template9.d, aliasthis.d
for test suite. This fact has introduced conflicts between the
patches. I sometimes rebases my many pulls, but the cost of doing it
is much more.

- Others?
???

Please answer this question, Walter. I'd like to improve the bottleneck.
