I think cargo-mutants (https://github.com/sourcefrog/cargo-mutants) is pretty helpful for Rust testing. Would you like to bless it?

This tool hasn't really become popular (yet). I think there must be other approaches to mutation testing in the ecosystem, are you aware of any? And if so, why is your tool better?

Yes, see

I'm not aware of any better mutation testing system for Rust.

I find that writeup convincing, and it looks like cargo-mutants is at least not less popular than mutagen, so I think it might make sense to mention your tool on blessed.rs (note: I am not the maintainer). Maybe submit a PR?
