This is probably completely unrealistic, but I've been thinking
about the possibility of adding *all* D codebases to the CI
infrastructure, including personal projects and what-not. Set
it up such that any breakages send a notification to the
author(s) in advance of a PR being checked in, so that they
have time to respond. I'm not sure how this would work in
practice since you have to deal with dead / unmaintained
projects and/or slow/unresponsive authors, and some PRs you
might want to push through regardless of breakage. But it
would be nice to know exactly how much code we're breaking out
there.
A worthy goal. If you could get some download statistics from dub
(i.e. like total downloads past month), then you could probably
create a few buckets and rules so you could make sure that there
aren't breakages in the most downloaded projects while not
worrying about dead projects that aren't being downloaded anyway.
