We have high hopes that this will help reduce frustration for current

Nicholas has already reduced my frustration with getting a PR 
merged--thanks! It was a good incentive to donate.

"Walter and Andrei both" -> both Walter and Andrei
"Pull requests were" -> Pull Requests (PRs) were
"the list. The one linked above, for example." -> the list, for 
example, the one linked above.


Nice work setting this up, looking forward to many more targeted 
campaigns like this.

dpp and a handful of vim macros did most of the work


Could you please elaborate a bit on your workflow for D with Vim? 
I often struggle with the tooling around D but consider Vim as a 
great tool to use for D development. I am aware of dutyl and also 
use it but you seem to have more tools at hand ...


E.g. what do you use for debugging, refactoring, ... ?
