Stewart, I haven't seen an active D project that WASN'T hosted on 
GitHub for years now.

Git commits are local, and will always succeed. I'm guessing you 
actually want to allow anyone to push their commits to your 
repository, which is not how collaboration on GitHub works. You 
may want to read up on pull requests:

I'm sorry about the Dsource malfunctions. When I took over 
hosting, my goal was to archive it in a read-only state. The move 
has eaten much more of my time than I have anticipated, because 
it depends so much on ancient software that is difficult to get 
running these days short of making a virtual machine.

The module list has no value these days. Most people in that list 
no longer use D. Git allows quickly checking the history of any 
one file. Contributions to the project itself have been so few 
that it makes no sense to partition out module ownership.

Given that SVN is going the way of RCS and CVS, it's not really 
an "if".
