Ultimately, Rust needs an active maintainer who is on-top of the ecosystem and able to handle the regular bumps every 6 weeks. We already have a package needing not-in-tree rust-1.75.0 (https://bugs.gentoo.org/922880) which was only released 3-4 weeks ago. Please consider stepping forward if you rely on Rust. There's more than enough advocates for it, there should be someone who is able to then handle the packaging side. thanks, sam
