I'd be willing to step up as maintainer for the Rust V4L2 stuff. I will
also be contributing more bindings if we decide that's worthwhile,
because right now this is obviously very incomplete.

IIRC, Benjamin was originally looking into Rust for the AV1 driver he's
just written in C, but back then there was just too much work to be done
to even get started on the task. My point is that maybe these type of
drivers - i.e.: m2m codec stuff - are good candidates for Rust, because
the codec-specific bits are very self-contained.
