It would be nice to see all the hard workers who have helped D become what has become and are helping it become what it will be get noticed for there hard work(effectively they have given money to the D foundation through their time).
I think this is a great idea! I like the way Rust approaches this by listing the names of all contributors who helped for each release:

Is this being done? I think the regulars that have been around should get noticed and supported for their support. The D foundation should try to repay them at some point if possible(in the near or distant future)... but having official recognition is the start.
I run a tiny Vibe.d service that shows a list of all contributors for each Phobos module based on the git history. It's integrated with dlang.org and visible at the bottom of each module e.g.
