As far as I know, the majority of the PMC are not actively using Rust, so as supporting evidence for interest in this donation from the Rust community, here is a Reddit thread where I talked about offering DataFusion for donation recently:
https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/aibk39/datafusion_060_inmemory_query_engine_for_apache/ There were 69 upvotes and many supportive comments, including a couple where people specifically mentioned that they liked the fact that DataFusion uses Arrow. I would hope that this donation leads to more people contributing to Arrow. Thanks, Andy.
