There are quite a few bountied bugs that are library-related. The first 
I see on 
https://www.bountysource.com/trackers/383571-d-programming-language is 
https://www.bountysource.com/issues/1325915-object-not-const-correct. 
Let's say that's kinda runtime support so more difficult, so scanning 
down we see things like 
https://www.bountysource.com/issues/1327158-getopt-improvements-by-igor-lesik 
or... hmmm, that's about it. But there's also 
https://www.bountysource.com/issues/1325916-reading-writing-an-archive-causes-data-loss-std-zip-horribly-broken 
which was paid off but since reopened (arguably for a distinct matter).

If I get more budget I'll try to assign more to library issues.
