D1 and Phobos Fixes

Since D1 is stable I wonder why bugs in Phobos1 and/or D can't be ironed 
out quicker by allowing certain members of the D community to commit 
changes to phobos directly.

This goes for the compiler too, but presumably a lot of the the code is 
shared and it isn't so easy.

I presume that all the bug fixes for phobos are incorporated by Walter, 
and wonder if this need by the case. Would it not be useful to have a 
"team" of some sort that can operate on phobos1 directly, and take 
submissions from the wider community.

These fixes of course would be bug fixes only, and perhaps in some cases 
fixes where no behaviour has been defined, but existing behaviour is 
(clearly) wrong or non intentional.
