Here's a breakdown of some of the more popular formatting styles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indent_style. I think D tends towards Allman style (which I think the astyle formatter calls BSD style). My code is formatted a bit differently in terms of spacing around parens but I'd be happy to have it changed--I use Allman style these days too.
That's one property of Python's syntax that I like. You never argue about brace style because there are no braces.
Regarding the OP's post, I think this process isn't exclusive to just D's pull requests. I once worked in a web development position and experienced the same basic process of nitpicking. It tended to happen less after I figured out how to adopt their style. You eventually learn to tailor your code to the people you're presenting it to.
