I'd love to, but it would be irresponsible to commit to it as (right now especially) I don't have a very good idea of what time I'll be able to offer.
Just to follow up here -- a couple of days ago I pulled LDC from GitHub and built it. First time I've tried LDC in a while as up until fairly recently I was not aware of the work on GitHub.
Very nice and friendly build process -- I like the inclusion of druntime and phobos as submodules. The executables produced are nice and fast -- maybe about 10-15% slower than GDC for the number-crunching code I tested, but much faster than dmd-compiled programs, and the compilation process itself is super-fast.
I'll try and follow up in about 6 weeks' time by which time I should be settled in new job. If it's all all right time-wise, and if someone can mentor me in production of good-quality deb files, I'd be willing to reconsider the maintainer issue. :-)
