Once I catch up on the other things I've said I'm going to do, I'm planning on doing something like pyup-bot[1] for Dub projects. pyup does this with project dependencies for python - you get a pull request with dependency updates, links to their changelog/documentation, etc. Adding compiler updates might make sense, as the compiler is a dependency. Configuration would need to allow for the various decisions people make concerning what versions they support, so it's not a trivial addition, but doable. --Ryan [1]: pyup.io/
