Hi all, rust@ is essentially empty as gyakovlev is long-term away and dev-lang/rust, dev-lang/rust-bin, virtual/rust, sys-devel/rust-std, etc all need _at least one_ maintainer.
xen0n has been doing some of the bumps but he's only really doing so drive-by (although with best-effort review) and isn't AFAIK interested in maintaining Rust full-time. gyakovlev had some notes at https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:GYakovlev/Rust_bump on bumping Rust, might be that xen0n can improve that a little bit to improve handover if necessary. 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
