Among the Bugzilla entries added by me, I suggest Don to focus his efforts on
(and try to create patches for):

3971 3849 3948 3856 3825 3878 3981 3990 3999 4053 4085 4216 4349
4375 4407 4475 4625 4511 4530 4580 4664 4668 4678 4703 4733

Entries in that list often don't contain normal bugs or additive enhancements.

Right. And I have never studied compiler formally, yet, and I am not bold. But I am learning still. Bye, bearophile

He's too busy finding other bugs. ;) Though seriously, given the large scope of bugs that he reports, I doubt that he knows enough to fix very many of them. Particularly if they're compiler bugs, it can take a lot of knowledge about exactly how dmd, druntime, and phobos work to be able to come up with appropriate fixes. - Jonathan M Davis

Still, I think he (bearophile) is deserving of an Honorary Doctorate of Test and Analysis given his prolific filing of D bug reports. :-) - Justin Johansson

Yeah. I was joking. Forgot to put the smile tho'. It was just that I found funny when he asked Don to look those bugs and create patches. -- Yao G.

Oh, I realized you were joking. I just gave a semi-serious answer anyway. - Jonathan M Davis
