If you still have issues with it, Cargo (Rust's package manager) has the option to use alternative package repositories, so you can host your own repository of packages[1] if you so choose. I haven't looked too far into it, so I don't know how painless it is to replace the default one or set up a mirror for packages you trust, but someone on Reddit claims to do just that at their company [2]. I wish Rust made it easier to know who the author of a package is (i.e. namespace packages so it's clear in the Cargo.toml), but I do think they've done a better job at designing crates.io than some other package repositories (i.e. npm).
