One of the sudo-rs developers has suffered at the hands of a [BOFH](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastard_Operator_From_Hell) who thought it was funny to force the `sl` command (see https://github.com/mtoyoda/sl) on users. He has sadly lost his sense of humour as a result.

Yes! In fact, we also believe that the newer code base, written in a safer language, actually lends itself well for being more accepting of outside contributions. Multiple features/bugs in sudo-rs have already been implemented/fixes by external contributors.
