    From Sam James@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jan 25 06:10:01 2024
    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

    Is this something I could do as a proxy maintainer?

    Yes, no problem with that -- but would say that having a co-maintainer
    (proxied or not) would still be good if you can.

    I've opened https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/35085 with two
    commits. The first adds myself as a maintainer, and the second adds Rust 1.75.0. 1.76.0 will release soon, so this is probably somewhat short lived.

    I can also help with maintaining.

    I heavily rely on rust on Gentoo, in my own coding endeavors as well as at work.

    I saw the bumping notes involve quite of bit of compiling big packages, so maybe we can split up the work here.

    Fantastic!

    I saw the bumping notes involve quite of bit of compiling big packages,
    so maybe we can split up the work here.

    Yes, testing it takes some time and it would be helpful to spread the
    work out.
