Understand it, then run it

The Rust team has created a new role called Maintainer in Residence (MiR). It is a paid position that lets people focus on keeping Rust projects healthy. Six people were chosen for the first round, and they will receive funding for at least a year. The announcement explains who they are and what they will work on, but it does not change any Rust code.
