I apologize for what must be my ignorance. I know you made some large 
contributions to the GC in the past, but I don't have much knowledge of 
your recent work. I am sorry that your GC contributions have not bore 
fruit yet, but on the plus side a lot of things we've done recently 
(including this now dead initiative) is to make sure such contributions 
are not ignored.

My reply was based on a github search for your recent contributions to 
the project, without finding many (but then maybe I didn't search for 
the right thing). I now searched bugzilla and found 184 bugs in which 
you were involved in either role 
(http://d.puremagic.com/issues/buglist.cgi?emailcc2=1&emailreporter2=1&query_format=advanced&emailtype2=substring&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&email2=LUCARELLA&emailassigned_to2=1). 
But comments include _use_ of D as opposed to work _on_ D, so I 
restricted the search to all issues reported by you and found a total of 51.

Again, this is more about the work on D, not work with D; you clearly 
are a major D user. I'm sure I'm guilty of misperception, but on a 
regular basis I don't gather the feeling you have participated actively 
in D-Programming-Language, so I was a bit surprised by your strong 
participation in this particular discussion and your reaction of now. I 
apologize for such and I'm glad to be wrong.


Thanks,

Andrei
