Agreed. One could argue that a level of drama in the community is a sign of growing maturity and wider interest in the language, because it is evidence there is no longer a niche monoculture of devs all thinking the same way.
In the words of Steve Klabnik "Rust has been an experiment in community building as much as an experiment in language building. Can we reject the idea of a BDFL? Can we include as many people as possible? Can we be welcoming to folks who historically have not had great representation in open source? Can we reject contempt culture? Can we be inclusive of beginners?" https://words.steveklabnik.com/a-sad-day-for-rust
The Actix issue was resolved, and Actix will continue under new maintainers (https://github.com/actix/actix-web/issues/1289). So I'd argue the answer to those questions is a 'yes'.
