Is this a known issue with D on GitHub? Should I report it I

How smart is GH that it doesn't look at the file extension?
What happened?
The extension .d can legitimately refer to makefiles as well
(specifically, to dependency files).
The code GitHub uses to infer source file languages is
open-source, and – fittingly – available on GitHub:

You should check the issues for reports of similar D-related
problems, and if there are none, create a new one. Or, better
yet, submit a pull request with an appropriate fix.
As a workaround, adding a "module …;" declaration to your file
should help. You probably want to be doing that anyway.

FWIW this has been fixed by Martin last summer, but the people at
GitHub aren't very responsive. The PR is still pending :/
