This a very old discussion if you keep digging through the links.

I hope that the Rust Foundation (which finally exists) can put in some time / resources to help fix this.

I totally get that maintaining crates.io is a time suck for all involved, and mediating disputes would increase that even more.

But at some point, this is going to need to be addressed.
