Seems there are a few good suggestions.
Here is another:
Have dub have the ability to submit patches when a previously
broken package compiles.
So I identify a package that doesn't compile anymore and submit a
patch that adds a bitcoin miner and sets fire to your cat?
If dub packages were scoped to a user, then you could fork a dub
package more easily. Then the dub registry page for that package
could contain both the information "this package doesn't compile
with DMD > 2.65.0" and "this package has a more up-to-date fork
that compiles with DMD > 2.068.0".
That means I can't hijack your project, which is good, but
updating broken dependencies takes manual intervention, which is
bad.
