DUB has quite a large scope. And as a build system it's at the 
frontline when something goes wrong in building.

It really shows that I have very little time left for DUB at the moment. 
Unfortunately the contributor/user ratio of vibe.d is very close to zero 
and even just one additional part-time PR reviewer makes a huge difference.

If Dub is to be central to D, then I suggest it cannot rely on a single
person, even as the final committer. Is there a Dub team? If not can I
suggest this needs to be created as soon as possible.

When I have finished this round if fiddling with SCons and it's D and
Clang support, I can certainly chip in looking at issues and pull
requests. I guess I have to really given the hassle I have been giving
Dub in my rants.

doesn't quite roll off the tongue.

"dub" vs "dub repo"

Some dub/reggae inspired names:
dubstep/reggaeton/ragga/edm/house/bigbeat/dancehall

I kind of like house...

You could also distinguish between dub the package manager and 
dub the dependency manager/build tool.

Shows that the activity got lower last 12 months compared to the 
same period last year. (186 commits vs 288 commits, mostly 
explained by less commits from Ludwog S., as he noted in this 
topic)

But D does not get less popular so this leads to an expected 
growth of issues reported.
Other fact: people don't close their "BS" issues. When they are 
in front of a problem they got angry and report/ask a Q. without 
thinking more and never come back. Among 351 issues 12% are 
certainly to be closed, examples:

- https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/353
- https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/326
- https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/295
- https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/524

- https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/615
- https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/606
- https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/626
- https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/736 (this is a dup)
- https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/729
- https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/789 (because of IDEs and 
many debates here)
- https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/867 (stick to semVer and 
other FR exists)
- https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/1018 (FR exists that ask 
for -b and -a)
- etc

All non-trivial projects have this problem. Issues are not well / 
not aggressively-
enough managed.

After looking at the dub code I have to say the code is well 
written and well structured. That makes it easy for the community 
to help solving bugs.

My gut feeling is some features does not play well with other 
features. For example sub packages, path dependencies and the 
--single are essential features but do not play well together.

Also people with NodeJS background demanding the same features 
NPM provides.

As dub is now an essential part of DLang I hope the DLang 
Foundation could also spend some money to make dub even better.

Kind regards
André
