Both Nicholas Nethercote and Micheal Goulet (compiler-errors) are currently looking for employment to keep working on Rust. Forgive me if I'm missing some critical information or context (I'm not the most up to date on everything in the community), but this seems like a perfect example of where the non-profit that's set up to benefit Rust (The Rust Foundation) should step in to help.

Is there something else that's higher priority than keeping key contributors continuing to contribute? I kinda thought that was the point of getting funded by massive corporations.
