bat and exa also have ~19,100 and ~9,300 stars, respectively, on GitHub and (presumably) even more actual users - unless your project is that popular, I honestly wouldn't worry about it.

If your project does get that far, it'll start popping up in all of those package managers. To be super blunt, if you're interested in building and sharing CLI tools written in Rust, I'd just start building and sharing CLI tools written in Rust and stop worrying about all the different package management solutions available. crates.io is the standard for the Rust ecosystem and is more than sufficient until your project has hundreds or thousands of users - most package managers won't even accept your package until it has a decent amount of popularity (e.g. in use by more than 50 people).

Once the project is popular enough that it warrants placement in package managers, you'll know because a user will either file an issue requesting the project be added to a package manager or they'll simply do it themselves :D
