I left some comments on PRs that caused changes on

As you can see we're pretty busy already and github is a
horrible
communication path (news/notification driven, spammy...).
It was an observation, not a complaint.
Also you have to prioritize issues, it's really not that
important when
the hello world size wiggles by a few kB.
Issues that are not important enough to fix can be closed as
WONTFIX, as long as someone in the position to make that decision
has a look at it. I really don't think this is a problem.
Your Digger findings are really helpful, but it's necessary
that we
prioritize bugs right away or the important ones drown in
Bugzilla.
And this particularly does not mean to mark every other bug as
regression,
That's just cold. So do you want me to stop checking if filed
bugs are regressions? That doesn't seem logical to me.
Many people seem to not realize that the bugs they run into are
actually regressions and their code worked fine in older versions
of D, but I do not think that these are less important to fix. A
regression is a regression, no matter how we discover it - not
all people report bugs they run into, and if we ignore some
regressions, they might affect other users.
b/c that's the only working communication channel we have
for high priority stuff.
Bugzilla has a priority field, but it doesn't seem to be used
much.
