I believe it'd only be accepted if you (or someone else from the D
community) stick around and help with support. I'm the only one here who
seems to have an interest in D (and, most likely, mine is really only
here for as long as I'm working with the abagames ports I'm doing in my
free time). I doubt it'd be accepted if it is just a code dump onto
Kitware since CMake has some strict backwards compatibility requirements
and there are no D experts readily available.
