summary
Project goals formalizes a three‑way agreement connecting a task owner, the Rust team, and a sponsor, and it now pairs goals with funding contacts (Hexcat, Tedul, contractor groups) so work actually gets paid and started. Several goals are already sponsored — for example async state machine optimization has funding and an owner — while others like con generics remain unfunded. The effort also distinguishes short‑term goal funding from long‑term maintainer grants and shows early success but partial coverage.
