So, given that enhancements are identified in Bugzilla, is there a review

of an enhancement? Who assigns them?
Pretty much anyone who wants to take one of them on does so and when done,
issues a pull request for it. At that point, there's a general discussion of it
and a decision is reached, usually by consensus.
Also, given that view on the development of D, what is the position on the
evolution of the language in context with backward compatibility and
stability? How can an organization of D users that are not also D developers
can plan a project and use D for it?
Do you consider D stable enough for outside users/organizations to start using
it in their own projects?
Yes, and it is used heavily for commercial purposes by at least a couple
companies.
Like any other language, if you insist on using the latest feature and pushing
it to the limit, you are more likely to run into problems than if you are a bit
more modest in your use of it.
That said, we make a large effort to fix all regressions upon each release, and
I push hard to avoid making breaking changes to the language unless it is really
unavoidable.
