Rust maintainer perfectionism, or, the tragedy of Alacritty
I actually have experience with this specific code. I recently fixed a bug in a function that his PR also touches: https://github.com/nix-rust/nix/pull/1521
And I have a PR to fix problems in another Rust wrapper of the same libc functions: https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/pull/2653
It's hard to get right. Skimming the PR, the feedback looks reasonable.
This post fails to speak to me on two fronts:
* The `nix` crate is a cornerstone of the Rust development ecosystem: if you do anything that requires POSIX or various nix-specific APIs beyond those wrapped by the standard library, then `nix` most likely provides a high-level and safe* wrapper for them. Perfectionism is a virtue in this context, one that keeps large parts of the Rust ecosystem from accidentally consuming buggy code. The author unfortunately chose a particularly messy and bug-prone corner of the POSIX APIs to wrap, and ran into a correspondingly intensive review process. I've merged simpler wrappers[1][2] with no fuss.
* Alacritty seems to work just fine. I switched to it about two months ago, after using nothing but (heavily customized) rxvt-unicode for a decade. Maybe it's because I don't use ligatures or images in my terminals (I thought we were talking about non-"toy" functionality!), but I haven't found myself wanting for anything beyond what Alacritty already does. And the scrollback seems to work nicely. To summarize: where's the tragedy?

What would you change about bitflags?
One thing I'd like to see is a MSRV policy, as its causing problems for downstreams (https://github.com/nix-rust/nix/issues/1555)
