Thanks for the offer ! Please join the #debian-xfce (and maybe #debian-rust)
on OFTC IRC network, and the Debian Xfce mailing list
debian-xfce at lists.debian.org where the coordination is likely to be done

I'm not sure how we'll advance on this but it's likely we'll have some heavy
coordinations with the Debian rust team because they're apparently maintaining
a lot of packages in their 'monorepo' (also see https://rust-
team.pages.debian.net/book/ ).
