I tried running cargo new --vcs fossil hello_cargo, and I found that the generated Cargo.toml file has my Git user name and email in the "authors" field, which seems wrong to me. (I assume it must have invoked git config or else looked in the Git config files directly.)
Do you agree that's wrong? How does one report bugs in Rust?
Given that the authors field isn't even generated by default anymore, I don't think that's a big deal even if it is a bug.
It does feel wrong, yes.
Cargo is developed in its own repository: rust-lang/cargo.
You can open an issue there.
Ah, I didn't realize that; thank you for pointing it out. I agree: it makes no sense to churn a bug report for behavior that no longer exists.
