I can fork the repos too, but unless I present a large group of credible and high-level contributors (that is, I fork the team too). Which people are putting their weight behind this fork?

The readme doesn't mention the reason for the fork, who made it and who governs it. Which would be the most interesting info. Edit: apperently there is a main site (https://crablang.org/) with more info. The most important piece of info is missing though: names.

It appears this was already brewing since (before) April 14th:

I'd argue that devops is somewhat more important than names, which crablang does seem to be addressing pretty quickly - the whole rustup workflow seems to be working, which is a big deal. Names will follow as names deem fit, especially when Rust leadership (following the latest issue, that is both the foundation and the project leadership) keeps making terrible decisions and terrible reparations.
