The rust project is not stalled. There is pushback from maintainers, but as trust is established, things will hopefully change and it'll get easier. Escalating erodes trust and simply will make the process take longer. Anything that fuels us vs them narratives are simply damaging. Everyone needs to focus on the shared objectives of the overall Linux project. Ignoring the maintainers and pretending their opinions are wrong or don't matter won't help. I'm not sure a top down directive is necessarily the right way to establish a healthy space for rust in linux.
