The Rust Foundation is proud to join the Sustaining Package Registries Working Group as a founding member. As open source consumption approaches 10 trillion downloads annually, the gap between what registries like crates.io demand and the resources to sustain them has become a supply chain risk. It's time to treat registry sustainability as a shared responsibility.
