Maintenance and portability of sudo-rs
Make sudo-rs available cross-platform
The sudo and su utilities guard a critical privilege boundary on just about every free and open-source operating system that powers the Internet. Memory safety bugs occur in the original sudo from time to time, and there is only one maintainer to fix them. For these reasons sudo-rs was written: a Rust drop-in replacement for sudo on Linux. For it to be a success, it needs to gain adoption. In this project, we will 1) address bugs and incompatibilities between sudo-rs and sudo and 2) port it to platforms other than Linux, to grow its user base and viability.
