I assume you mean ddmd and static foreach, the mailing list

I would think this would be bigger news...I mean LDC isn't
even on 2.076 yet...
Really? Well, maintenance should be rather small now that the
patch / diff is relatively tiny for GDC. Rebasing only
against dmd/stable branch on a weekly basis or so should help
things along also.
A lot of (most, even?) D users ignore GDC because it's been
substantially behind the cutting edge for so long. Managing to
catch up and become relevant to them is big news, if you want
users.
To clarify: this includes Phobos, right?
Yes, the gdc downloads page hasn't been updated in 9 months:
https://gdcproject.org/downloads
By comparison, ldc is at the ddmd 2.074 frontend, which has been
downloaded 7000 times in the last month since it was released:
http://www.somsubhra.com/github-release-stats/?username=ldc-developers&repository=ldc
The gdc devs should put out a new release with a more up-to-date
frontend and announce it, so that all this work they've done gets
more use.
