 submit it to the bugzilla then?


 You should still submit it to bugzilla, because often someone else is 
 able to cut them down to size.


There is only 2 of us working on QtD and there has not been interest from
anyone to help with it. QtD contains more than 500 auto generated
classes/modules with tons of methods and inter-dependencies. It's not easy at
all. Consider it as an example of real word application with a million lines of
code. If not Rainer's tremendous help, I would have given up with the
development of QtD a while ago. He was only able to help me because he used QtD
as a stress test.

This patch is also made by Rainer and apparently it is no longer valid (it was
applicable to dmd svn revision 323, but not 324 anymore). All I can do is to
rely on Rainer again.

I.e. it is valid, it just no longer fixes #2511 as it used to do. It would be
nice at least to get this one fixed, as it is a blocker for us too.

Interest from people waxes and wanes, I wouldn't be concerned if it was 
wane at the moment. The advantage to Bugzilla is it sits there, sails 
up, ready for when the wind blows. The n.g., however, is very topical, 
and old news scrolls away and out of sight.

You and Rainer have been very valuable contributors to the quality of D.
