While it's an interesting suggestion, dub has 355 open
issues, would be better if more people pitched in on those:
I have zero interest in fixing dub issues since I have zero
interest in using dub.
If one of the libraries were compelling... and I actually knew
about it though, that equation may change.
Making the code repository show documentation will do a lot to
make the library more discoverable and valuable, which in
turn, can drive dub use and bring with it more contributors.
This is exactly what I was thinking.
btw, there is a three-year-old open issue for this:
https://github.com/dlang/dub/issues/355
The dub codebase isn't that big- DScanner reports 14.4 klocs- and
Sonke's code is nicely formatted and easy to dive into.
Everybody wants stuff in dmd, from bug fixes to new features, but
doesn't necessarily have the compiler knowledge or bandwidth to
decipher Walter's code.
Dub, on the other hand, is something most everybody can
understand, and PRs would benefit the entire community. It is
still primarily a one-man show, despite Martin's efforts:
https://github.com/dlang/dub/graphs/contributors
I suggest everyone take a look at some of those issues, most are
potential enhancements that anyone could add.
