Sounds good, and apologies for being pedantic, but given the recent
discussions, I thought I should clarify just in case others read it
differently.

In the same vein, one more quick thing (that you probably didn't mean
in this way, but still, I think it is better I add the note, sorry): I
don't think it is true that it will not add workload to Andrew or MM
in general. It always adds some workload, even if the maintainers
don't handle the patches at all, since they may still need to perform
a small change in something Rust related due to another change they
need to do, or perhaps at least contact the Rust sub-maintainer to do
it for them, etc.
