Code gen bugs can cause "dynamic regressions" in user code if a 
change causes a different compiler path to be used.


apathy towards back end issues so I don't feel motivated to 
contribute.

Yes. Issues can sit for years before getting fixed, it is normal 
workflow for situation when there are much more issue reporters 
than developers.

close all bug trackers -> no more bugs -> declare perfect D

sounds like a plan :D

issues.dlang.org is primarily for discussing bugs, github pull 
requests are for reviewing fixes. Moving to github has a been a 
great success, but it lacks a lot of the features of bugzilla 
(issues.dlang.org) that are important for bug tracking, hence the 
split. Github, however, is *much* better for reviewing patches.

I'm sure you have your reasons. The problem with an attitudes like this 
is they're a proxy for further and larger difficulties in working with a 
person. We're shorthanded enough to not pander to such. If you go to any 
OSS community, each has a way of doing things and can't possibly be 
accepting of anyone's idiosyncrasies.

There would be a lot more frustration if the tracker didn't exist. It 
seems you're not willing to look beyond one bug report that's not two 
months old. There's a lot of activity going on.

You spent the effort implementing a fix, the time talking about 
your fix but cannot be buggered submitting a PR for the fix?

D has a problem ATM of too many talkers, not enough doers. Please 
submit a PR if you have a fix for anything in the bug tracker.

one fix at a time, not more. the first one is still sitting in

Then paste the fix here and allow somebody else to do the boring PR

Fix is in Bugzilla attached, though without an unittest 
demonstrating the error.

Our release czar converted it to a pull request:

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/2336

You should add unittests to your fix. I've approved this one but the 
best way to go if you want to be happy in this community is to get over 
yourself.
