5. The amount of stuff on this forum and the mailing lists has become overwhelming. I've recently remedied this to a small degree by unsubscribing from dmd-internals. I've never been a contributor to the compiler itself and had only subscribed to this list to track bug fixes and 64-bit support implementation. Now, the signal-to-noise ratio of my inbox is good enough that I actually read the Phobos and druntime stuff again instead of just glossing over all my D-related email.
I take it you are referring to the GitHub commit messages which are relayed to dmd-internals? Because except for those (which I just made a filter rule for), the list is really quite low-volume. Maybe we should create a dedicated d-commits list to which all the GitHub notifications get sent, similar to what other projects have? The occasional post-commit discussion could then be continued on one of the repository-specific lists, just like they are now.
