Ah, so that's why it's written in Rust. Less people who care about Python packaging are capable of forking it.

I guess this is a joke but honestly I think that Python -> Rust is a pretty strong one.

I'd bet that the sort of person who is maintaining packaging for a bunch of Python users would like an opportunity to learn Rust on the job. I would.

IMO this is unlikely. Rust and Python have very little in common.
