Dustmite is just one example of this, but it's on top of my head because
I went looking for a link to it to go with the Reddit pointer to the

there were no links to gdc or ldc instructions, and no mention anywhere
that to get gdc on Ubuntu, one only needs to type:

    sudo apt-get install gdc

All you guys building stuff - it's all WASTED EFFORT if you don't make
it findable by users. /rant

So what's the policy on this? Which tools can be added to dlang.org? I
have a tool, DVM [1], for installing DMD. It's cross-platform, allows
you to install and switch between multiple versions of DMD. Doesn't
require any updates when new releases of DMD come out. It just works.

Should I create a pull request and add instructions and a link to it?

Long-standing tools of known usefulness should definitely be easily accessible from the main site. I'm not sure about the particulars though, but these are for the entire community to decide.
