Idea: The “left-pad index”, a score for Rust crates that combines small size with popularity. The goal would be to find potential candidates for additions to the standard library, or at least merging into larger crates.

I like this because you can get individual crates or grab the whole utility belt.

They don't necessarily need to be in the same crate, but it would be nice to put them under common overall governance, security policy and licensing, to reduce the cost of them.

As usual Rust has an opportunity to combine superficially opposite solutions to get benefits of both. Big-stdlib advocates wants language team to relief them from having to discover, review, vet and maintain 3rd party crates. Small-stdlib advocates want to avoid the stdlib-rot.

There is a middle-ground here that would satisfy everyone. Take the most popular and useful crates under official umbrella, commit to their maintenance and quality, make them discoverable and clearly trustworthy, yet keep evolving them under semver.
