I wasn't clear, I mean, why should Rust have it's own implementation, with the cost and worries about correctness, and maintenance burden vs using an existing library, as is typically what other languages (e.g. Python) would do in this situation.

I don't see the benefit, that's what I was wondering about.

What library? Who maintains the library?

For some background, ring/rustls is a Rust library that replaces openssl because it doesn't have a good track record for vulnerabilities - especially those caused by memory safety issues.
