My idea:

1. Members of the D leadership/committers form a working group.
2. The working group creates of list of bugs they are willing to 
work on.
3. Hackathon is announced.  To motivate participants, the working 
group agrees to fix a bug of the winner's choosing.
4. After the hackathon, the working group subjectively chooses a 
winner from the participants.
5. The winner discloses which bug they would like fixed, and the 
qualified members of the working group agrees to fix it for the 
next release.
7. Wash, rinse, repeat.
