That's the opposite of what happened. You kicked off the 
implementation around March 2021:
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pulls?q=is%3Aclosed+is%3Apr+author%3Awalterbright+DIP1034

Then you abandoned it for ImportC and it got released in an 
incomplete state, without a preview switch.

It was actually Florian who stepped up and started fixing the 
issues that were pouring in because of that:

https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pulls?q=is%3Aclosed+is%3Apr+author%3Amoonlightsentinel+noreturn+

But there's still a lot more to go before DIP1034 is properly 
implemented.
