I feel like it makes a bit more sense to have an entry for the entire class of
"RUST [FFI]" infrastructure.

I could imagine that we will find quite some more cases where an FFI abstraction
layer makes sense; at some point it might even go the other way around.

Once that happens, I think it would be good to have people looking after
intermediate FFI layers in general. But it does not have to be you of course.

Maybe we can create the "RUST [FFI]" entry already with the following
constraint:

	RUST [FFI]
