The Rust Project Funding team announces Scott Schafer as a new full-time Maintainer in Residence dedicated to Cargo, funded for at least the next 12 months from the Rust Foundation Maintainers Fund after the Rust Leadership Council added money from its Project Priorities budget and AWS and the Rust Foundation contributed more. The post explains why Cargo needed the support, noting team departures and lost dedicated funding had made it hard to meet a maintenance baseline, and introduces Schafer, a three-year Cargo team member and Rust Docker team lead who implemented workspace inheritance and led the multi-year switch of compiler diagnostics to the annotate-snippets crate.
