D should try to avoid being like Iran!
Here's one example Robert mentioned: getting D support into the GDB main source. That doesn't require anything from me or anyone else. It requires someone to
doggedly push the changes to the people who control GDB.
It's not a big job - the GDB patches already exist.

But it's a high leverage issue, meaning it'll be a big win for D's
acceptance and credibility.
I have tried to push the patches on[1], but sadly never got an answer from
the original author. Again, some D-related stuff got abandoned, I don't
know, maybe D is damned =/
I guess someone has to rewrite those patches to be able to integrate them
in GDB (or try harder to find the patches author).

The ones less than 10 lines don't need to be rewritten, just the longer
ones. It still should be a straightforward job, there isn't that much of
it. That's why I suggest it is the ideal project for someone wanting to
contribute to D - it's a small project with large positive consequences.
