This is problematic since I can't compile anything with dub. If you installed gdc, did you install libgphobos-devel? Without the latter you have neither druntime, nor phobos (and as such not libbacktrace.d).

How bugs to fix are chosen? Who choose?

I guess those with the largest number of votes are selected. The choosing is done by whoever fronts the money for the bounty based on whatever they want. Also, anyone can use the system to put a bounty on any bug, or can add (their own funds) to any existing bounty.
