It would be really nice if dub, dfmt, and dfix were co-opted into 
the standard distribution of D and officially sanctioned as part 
of the D-Programming-Language github organization.  These are 
great tools and I would hate to see them flounder if the authors 
got bored/busy.

I believe that's the plan.

Anyway, their authors, Ludwig and Schott, are very prolific: I 
have had great experiences using their tools and reporting bugs 
and feedback.
