I don't think anyone intends to ignore your posts, it's just that we don't have the answer. Jonathan Davis has a new thread regarding the review queue. You might get answers there.
It wasn't really that I was feeling ignored (OK, put this as a tribute to the speed at which questions are usually answered:-), more that I thought the discussion might be more useful/suited here as it's about a module under development. Again, sorry for the double post.
I think there is a tendency for discussions in this group to focus on language internals and features rather than useful but mundane things. As a last resort you could probably check and/or complete the rational number code and put it in the review queue yourself. Most code here is licensed to allow that.
I'll take a look and see what I can do.
Taking a little longer view, we definitely need a better process for inclusion of new modules into phobos. Maybe, as you suggest, a roadmap for proposed modules, with dates for implementation and reviews.
I guess it's tricky because there are only a limited number of people who can review the code, so it must be difficult to set definite time targets. But it could be nice to have e.g. a priority wish list so that we can see what kinds of contributions would be most useful/welcome.
