So I identify a package that doesn't compile anymore and submit a 
patch that adds a bitcoin miner and sets fire to your cat?

If dub packages were scoped to a user, then you could fork a dub 
package more easily. Then the dub registry page for that package 
could contain both the information "this package doesn't compile 
with DMD > 2.65.0" and "this package has a more up-to-date fork 
that compiles with DMD > 2.068.0".

That means I can't hijack your project, which is good, but 
updating broken dependencies takes manual intervention, which is 
bad.
