I wonder if the tmux maintainers would be interested in switching to this?

Transitioning more software from C to Rust is a great idea.

Seems like a bit entitled to expect being able to go around rewriting stuff and then have the old maintainers maintain it.

I wonder, I don't expect.

This would require first for the Rust implementation to grow beyond a POC with code translation. In its current state I doubt it could entice any of the original authors or maintainers. But if it became capable and hardened and picked up velocity, then it would pose some major questions for having two similar pieces of software.
