The Rust open source project, which handles standards for the language, released a new governance plan Thursday, the cumulation of six months of intense work. The Rust project interacts with, but is separate from, the https://thenewstack.io/rust-foundation-focusing-on-safety-and-dev-outreach-in-2023/, which primarily handles the financial assets of Rust. Two years ago, the project had a very public blowup after its entire mod team resigned and https://github.com/rust-lang/team/pull/671., which the mod team called “unaccountable to anyone but themselves.”

Triplett, who serves as language lead for the Rust project and is a joint author on the new governance model request for comment, jokingly compared writing the new governance model to writing the https://www.archives.gov/milestone-documents/constitution#:~:text=The%20Federal%20Convention%20convened%20in,was%20obtained%20on%20May%2025..

The original Rust project governance structure evolved out of Mozilla, where Rust began and was nurtured for years.
