Rust isn't just about some syntax and hash table algorithms. It's an organization with people, and that is already political. Some people's mere existence makes things "political" if they belong to a certain minority. It's political who is welcome on the team and who isn't (even saying "we don't care, everyone is welcome" is a political stance). Even the fact that we're discussing this in English (and not Mandarin or French) is not politically neutral.
