Crates.io does support trusted publishing for GitHub and gitlab. It's not much, but it's Honest work.

It's not enforced though, and there's no way as a consumer to see how a crate was published.

To be extremely fair, crates.io has a huge maintenance bottleneck because AFAIK it doesn't even have a single dedicated developer. But that's definitely a big part of the problem.

The Rust Foundation is really just not pulling in enough revenue to support the project properly. They really ought to figure out more revenue streams than just sponsorships and donations.
