Rust Moderation Team Resigns

• team

  51 293 9.7 Rust

  Rust teams structure (by rust-lang)

  

Based on their mods.toml file:

https://github.com/rust-lang/team/blob/master/teams/mods.tom...

The "description" field says "Helping uphold the code of conduct and community standards" which is why they left. My guess is people could of done literally any number of things that violated the Code of Conduct. They want to not start a witch hunt which is respectable. As someone else around this thread said though, it leaves room to interpret it as the absolute worst. I am going to assume it's not as awful as it seems and might just be something to the tune of differing opinions. Maybe another Linus Torvald scenario.

• governance

  1 14 0.0

  Discontinued The home for Rust's governance documentation, such as team charters. (by rust-lang)

  

I have used Rust for years, but I never bothered to look into the governance structure.

How are team members selected? Who picks new team members? Who has authority to kick someone off a team?

I can't find anything online, except this very bare-bones WIP stub. [1]

This seems to be a glaring oversight, I really thought that there were proper procedures in place.

Especially now, with Rust becoming more and more popular, the foundation in place for almost a year, and corporate interest flooding into the project, I would have expected procedures to already be in place.

There certainly seem to be other cracks in the system. See for example "I refuse to let Amazon define Rust" by Steve Klabnik, discussed at length on HN. [2]

• Elm

  198 7,447 5.4 Haskell

  Compiler for Elm, a functional language for reliable webapps.

  

The compiler literally checks what GitHub org originated the package. If you fork a package that uses FFI, it won't work unless you remove the check from the compiler or use a hacky workaround to trick the compiler: https://github.com/elm/compiler/blob/770071accf791e817144070...

• ripgrep

You might care to notice that the resignation was announced by BurntSushi, who is one of the most well-respected, talented, and prolific contributors in the wider Rust community. Amongst other things, they are the author of ripgrep[1], the regex[2] crate, and the byteorder[3] crate. They have multiple projects which are amongst the most-downloaded crates[4] in the Rust ecosystem.
