Given the wide range of other language bindings we are already hosting, I'd be happy to see the Rust binding added there too.

Anyway, if I may give you an advice, it would be way nicer if some of the bindings were automatically generated. Libvirt provides all the infomartion necessary in libvirt{,-qemu-lxc}.xml files for you to be able to do this. We already do this for the python bindings, for example. That way they automatically support trivial function additions in newer libvirt versions.
