Assuming the Rust Arrow PR is merged, we will want to start publishing releases to crates.io at some point. In fact, we should publish the 0.1.0 sooner rather than later to reserve the name "arrow" as crates.io operates on a first-come first-served basis.
For those not familiar with the Rust ecosystem, crates.io is the equivalent of Java's "maven central" and publishing a project is as simple as running the "cargo publish" command. The first person to publish the crate becomes the crate owner (they have to authenticate with crates.io via github) but they can add other owners (github people or teams). So, if we don't publish it soon, anyone else could and we would not have access to the crate and we would have to pick a new name. Is there a github team for the Apache Arrow project? If not, should one be created? Or is there a list of commiters that should be the crate owners? Thanks, Andy.
