I won't be doing it either, because Dutyl is already doing
this job and feeding the import paths to DCD, I'm assuming the
other editor plugins also have their solutions for that
already, so you can count their maintainers out. You'll need
someone new to have enough motivation to do it - someone who
wants to develop a new editor plugin(or plugin for ymcd or
https://github.com/quarnster/completion or other stuff like
that) and is willing to contribute to DCD on the way.
A while back, I've looked a bit into integrating Dutyl with
ycmd(http://forum.dlang.org/thread/qsvrvtpqrdvfujahk...@forum.dlang.org?page=2#post-ahwguxayeamrvdczlacu:40forum.dlang.org)
and found out this connection is a waste of time, since I'll
have to reimplement all the relevant parts in Python anyways
so there is no point to make the semantic engine depend on
Dutyl.
I had to do some work to get Syntastic, which I use for syntax
checking in Vim, to get the import paths in there from dub. I
actually raised an issue for dub recently requesting dub to get
a command to ouptut the import paths for you. The discussion
led to me bineg able to finish my program.
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dub/issues/542
My program can be seen here.

It looks like Dutyl currently handles this by applying eval to
the result of 'dub describe', then doing the rest in VimL.
I might move to using Dutyl, as I am not currently running
DScanner on my projects, and I think it's time that I did.
Using DCD would also be nice, and having documentation on
symbols would be nice. There is a way to implement this in Vim
for mouse hovers. I'm not sure if Dutyl handles this already.
Dutyl doesn't support that mouse hovering feature that you want,
and I don't have any plans to implement it, but if you want it
you can implement it and send a PR.
