I've added it for you to crates-io, and also to rust-apps.

We don't really have a target.  I figured every 3 months or so, enough
time to cover 2 rounds of rust version bumps, would probably be a good
cadence.  Checking qa.guix.gnu.org I don't see that anyone has asked for
a merge currently, which is about when I'd plan on jumping in.

In terms of goals for the branch currently, I'd like to make sure that
it re-adds support for riscv64 (up to 1.75 locally!) and try to figure
out the issue I'm having on ppc64le with building rust-1.73.  And also
move more packages out of crates-io to other modules, it's still over
3000.

Also, patches pushed.
