Hi Guix,

I packaged a number of Rust programs that I use everyday (ripgrep,
alacritty) or I found useful when learning Rust (racer).  With the
instability of the rust build system and package definition they are a lot
to maintain. I would love to send patches for them but I don't want to
burden you all with the maintenance of the packages. When do you think
would be the best time to send patches?

Thanks!

John
