Can anyone more familiar with Rust shine some light onto this issue?
From a cursory look, Rust does not rely at all on GitHub. Neither does Rust's crates format, which already support multiple sources including from git repos and package registry sources.

Apparently Rust's Cargo package manager specifies crates.io as its default package registry source, but from the looks of it nothing stops anyone from providing their own package registry.
- brianhorakh 4y agoCrates.io requires a github account to register. Cargo is tightly coupled to github. You can of course use your own libs, but cannot contribute to cargo crates.io without github. Rust is sort of less awesome without cargo. Its a valid point, but also github is sufficiently ubiquitous and rust community is busy building, 99.9% of the projects would use github anyway.

Even though crates.io is the default package registry, Crates support both third-party package repositories and even git repos. As explained in another post, the issue is actually a developer from Russia complaining that Russia was subjected to sanctions.
