We ran into a related issue too: uploads succeeded, but Cargo couldn't find the new versions in the index.

🦀 Overview
Welcome to the GitHub repository for crates.io, the official package registry for the Rust programming language.
crates.io serves as a central registry for sharing "crates", which are packages or libraries written in Rust that you can use to enhance your projects. This repository contains the source code and infrastructure for the crates.io website, including both frontend and backend components.
This service is maintained for you by the crates.io team, with support from the Rust Foundation. File hosting is donated by Amazon Web Services, with CDN services donated by Fastly.
🛠️ Contributing
We welcome contributions from the community! Whether you're fixing a bug, implementing a new feature, or improving documentation, your contributions help make crates.io better for everyone.
crates.io is built with Rust for the backend services. More specifically, the axum web framework and diesel for database access, with a custom-built background worker system. The frontend is a SvelteKit application written in TypeScript.
Please review our contribution guidelines before submitting your pull request. The same document also contains instructions on how to set up a local development environment, with additional structured documentation available in AGENTS.md.

TL;DR: They want to fix this, it's a lot of work that no one's being paid to do, there's a roadmap with specific tasks that need doing, volunteer contributions are welcome.
In GitHub shouldn't be a dependency for publishing Rust on crates.ioThere is some recent progress on https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io/issues/326
In Why stdx is not on crates.ioAs for #4, you will probably be interested in https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io/issues/326. The crates.io team wants this, but this is complex to implement and they're understaffed.
In How memory safety CVEs differ between Rust and C/C++In particular a number of other projects assume that you have a GitHub account. https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io/issues/326 has been open for literally a decade without any meaningful work. If you want to publish a Lean software packages on Reservoir, the official Lean package registry, their requirements (https://reservoir.lean-lang.org/inclusion-criteria) not only specify a GitHub project specifically, but having at least two stars on GitHub as a "basic quality filter". Microsoft is a big funder of Lean and I can't help but think this is a deliberate restriction to increase lock-in on a Microsoft-owned platform.
In Moving from GitHub to Codeberg, for lazy peopleCrates.io is moving to Svelte[1].

In CVEs affecting the Svelte ecosystemRust was hit by a similar attempt: https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io/discussions/11889
Nothing much came of it, I don't know.
In Shai-Hulud malware attack: Tinycolor and over 40 NPM packages compromised> This post was updated to clarify that de Valk and Marucchi haven’t specifically said they have planned a fork, and that they were hoping to create mirrors for the plugins and themes repositories, while also offering to lead on the next release of WordPress.
The plan was to scrape the site and set up an alternative, not to fork Wordpress. The headline was deliberately written to deceive.
-----
edit: that being said, a distributed model would be best for all situations like this. I still can't get over the fact that Rust has a github dependency. And I'm sure they're not the only one.

In Matt Mullenweg deactivates WordPress accounts of contributors planning a forkYour trust in crates.io extends to their authentication, which is subcontracted to GitHub (and only GitHub) so Microsoft. Debian? Microsoft? ... that's a tricky one.

I use GitHub all the time but I never expected it to be mandatory if you wanted to publish a package for a popular open source language.
But as the top says, “If you are interested in helping with this work, please feel free to get started!” (Though only if you’re a contributor or open a duplicate issue)
