It would be very helpful indeed if you would do this!

(I feel kind of bad about publishing the rust package without having a 
plan in place to update it, but me doing everything doesn't scale very 
well).

Huh. I had the impression that this constraint only applied to nightly, 
not released versions, but it's entirely possible I'm mistaken.

  I guess the simplest way is to build and publish the intermediate 
versions (which is probably also helpful if there's a regression, since 
it can then be tracked down to a specific version).

Our process should be described at [1].

If you send a mail to the cygwin-apps list saying you'd like to adopt 
the rust package and providing an ssh key, I'll get you hooked up.

(you need to subscribe to be able to post to that list, but you can turn 
mail delivery off)

Thanks!
