For the record, I'm also following that from the rust-cpython side. Do
you have something specific in mind about our current C extensions ?

I pointed Victor to your (merged) PR for PEP-587 initialization APIs
[1], gave a bit of context about PyOxydizer and how it's going to be
central in our Windows packaging.

Long term, there's the perspective that our Rust extensions would be
naturally compatible with PyPy thanks to the HPy project [2]. It's quite
experimental for now,  but I'm very excited about this. 

Best,
