I'd be happy to personally help on that one. Other people here

+1 for the GC. Making it precise (and maybe generational) would
easily be a nice project for 2 people at least. As well as
allocators.
For other projects, D still doesn't have a nice unified interface
to databases.
As for distributed computing, a port of Apache Hadoop and HBase
to the D language that shows better performance and memory
characteristics than the Java version would be nice, and it would
shed the light on the language.
