This. Dlangui does seem too fat to add to phobos.
What could be done in general for these cases is to let the D
org. pick a couple of important libraries that is not suited for
Phobos and try to move them to the dlang github org as owner (if
current owner agrees of course). Original owner becomes
lead/driver on the moved repo.
That would be strong sign of commitment and in case of the
original owner losing interest the dlang org. can assign a new
driver.
