A lot of request are made most often about what needs to be added in D and what is lacking (multiple compilers, debugging tools, IDEs, GUI, ...). I think a lot has been done already and I suggest focus should be centered on making them stable. Sadly, some have even been abandoned after all the work that went in to them (no names).
Compiler front-end is about to freeze for a few releases accroding to: http://forum.dlang.org/thread/[email protected] Library and druntime will continue development as is.
Already contribution is not much, so I believe stabilizing what we have now will at least give us one thing that is reliable rather than many that are not much useful for production.
It happens organically as long as user base keeps growing around a useful project. The bigger the user base the harder it is introduce breaking changes and the more bugs are found in what's already there.
As Andrei said, people still request more features to be added to even C++. That game never stops.
