There's one in the queue, feel free to vote for or destroy it:

Built-in unittests... ddoc'd unittests! Though it's hard to
think of an example showing this off that's short enough to
work for the roulette.
Yes ... ideas welcome ;-)
Sane template syntax. Template alias parameters. Manipulation
of template argument lists.
Do you have anything specific in mind?
UFCS.
Absolutely agreed, but how do we show this?
Range - one of the best uses cases - are already shown.
Compile-time introspection + UDAs. Loop over a struct defining
a set of program configuration parameters, and generate code
for parsing command-line arguments that fills in the struct
based on field definitions. (You could just transform the
struct members into getopt arguments, as implementing this from
scratch could be a bear... and ugly to look at. :-D)
Ok - I gave it a shot, but it got quite long. Any ideas on
trimming it down?

std.process making it dead easy to invoke an external program,
capture
its output, all without the ugliness of manually dealing with
fork(),
execv(), and waitpid().
I realized std.parallelism gives an excellent showcase as well:
https://github.com/dlang/dlang.org/pull/1760
And created another one for std.process:
https://github.com/dlang/dlang.org/pull/1761
Feedback welcome!
You could search for "your code here" in the forum -- that used
to be the instructions on submitting code examples back before
the website was revamped, and IIRC there have been a handful of
suggestions, though AFAIK none was ever actually added to the
roulette.
Thanks, but I can only remember spam being posted with "your code
here".
The search also doesn't show any results for me...
