Dub is not dead, it just has limited resources.
So , if the D community want Dub to work as a build system as
well as a package manager, extend the resources by corralling
the grumblers and support them into fixing code and creating
pull requests.
I already but my limited resources into real and _merged_ pull
requests for actual bugs at dlang/dub
Please if you have ideas to motivate the grumblers to do so as
well, act!
Whilst grumbles on the email list are not turned into evolution
of Dub, the D ecosystem does progress.
Yes, we are making progress. With more people contributing,
things would go a lot faster though ...
An example, remember how code.dlang.org looked in 2016?

(apart from the design - compare the number of packages with the
number it has today)
