This Week in Rust newsletter documents concrete growth: started June 2013 with 30 merged PRs that week and now shows weeks with 300–500 pull requests, archives 614+ issues and an editorial project with 1,177 contributors and 15,755 commits. It surfaces RFCs that drew 600+ comments, tracked Rust landing in the Linux kernel (merged Oct 2022), curates crate-of-the-week picks, calls-for-contribution mentorships, and weekly compiler performance triage — a running, searchable record that stakeholders and adopters actually use.
