This is good to hear! We were just discussing some issues around vendoring in the Quantum/tools meeting today. Specifically we're planning to try implementing my proposal[1] around reviews for vendored Rust crates. We think it will probably be best served by having a group of peers who are comfortable reviewing Rust code, for when we're vendoring new crates (or there are significant changes to existing vendored crates). -Ted 1. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1322798#c11 _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
