I think that the DUB issue list [0]
has grown immensely over the last two years as it's nearly only 
Sönke maintaining - it's not like he doesn't maintain ddox [1], 
Vibe.d [2], eventcore [3] (an abstraction for event loop 
libraries that hopefully one day finds its way to Phobos), 
std.data.json [4] (an kickass Json library), diet-ng [5] (the 
template system used by Vibe.d), tagged-algebraic [6], the DUB 
registry [7] and so on.
Moreover, Dub's issue list [0] is filled with real bugs and 
important feature requests (git support, C/C++ integration like 
Rust, ...).

That been said DUB is a build tool and it's good to be in verbose 
in case of errors and there's `-q` which you can use as expected, 
e.g:

> dub run dscanner -q -- --sloc .

It's documented in the beginning of the document you linked under 
"general options".
When it's used in the `--single` file mode (aka #!/usr/bin/env 
dub) it's quiet by default.
