No matter how hard you try to paint it as such, Rust is not a tribe. This is such a weird characterization.
Rust contributions to the Linux kernel were made by individuals, and are very obviously subject to the exact same expectations as other kernel contributions. Maintainers have responsibilities, not “communities”.
Not only that, those individuals were already Linux kernel contributors. This is not an amorphous external group forcing their will on Linux, it's Linux itself choosing to use Rust.
