If you want to find out the status of something, the best bet is to go to the Rust Zulip and ask around: https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/ . Most Rust initiatives are pushed forward by volunteers who are happy to talk about what they're working on, but who only periodically write status reports on tracking issues (usually in response to someone asking them what the status is). Rust isn't a company where documentation is anyone's job, it's just a bunch of people working on stuff, for better or worse.
To be fair, this information is hard to come by in companies as well, unless it's being tracked and reported by program managers. I wonder if it would be sensible for the rust foundation to use some funds to pay folks to help track and organize efforts which the wider community is deeply interested in better. I care about a lot of the things mentioned in this thread, but the cost of paying attention or needing to bother folks on chatrooms to get status prevents me from really staying abreast of the latest.
