Hi Piper, putting you in CC since you expressed interest (I think).  
Right now no dependencies are missing; so this can be packaged as-is. 
imo this package should be maintained with the GNOME team (since this is 
a GNOME circle app). I can sponsor the initial upload. For the packaging 
https://wiki.debian.org/Gnome/Rust_Packaging is a good start.


best,

PS: If you want to package this please retitle this bug as ITP and own 
it. Let me know if you need help with this.
