Rust project leadership announced an election for new Project Directors, while the dev guide now instructs locked cargo installs to prevent supply-chain attacks.

The Project Directors election was announced in a new blog post [1], with tentative dates and a follow-up fixing the date . In the rustc-dev-guide, all `cargo install` commands now use `--locked` [2], which, per the commit, reduces supply-chain attack risk to the tool itself by using locked and hashed dependencies. The team repo added lcnr and Joel Marcey as funding advisors [3], and created a goal-owners Zulip group [4]. Miri synchronized with recent rustc changes [5] and documented a chacha20 target feature bug [6]. The query system chapter now emphasizes that queries are demand-driven, not just memoized [7].
