Rust Maintainers Team

Supporting Rust Maintenance

RustNL's new Rust Maintainers Team helps maintain the Rust Programming Language, including the compiler, standard library, tools, and more.

Maintenance is the groundwork that is crucial for Rust’s sustainability, its pace of development, and to attract new contributors.

We are looking for organizations interested in supporting Rust maintenance. Contact Mara or Erik for details on how to support our team.

For small donations, you can sponsor us through GitHub Sponsors, iDeal|Wero, or wire transfer:
