Testimonials page for Rust?

Has there been any talk about setting up an official testimonials page for rust? E.g. something similar to the friends of Rust page, but all about the words. I got to thinking about it when I read this excellent user story:

When I started learning Rust, I was expecting to get certain benefits. Beyond the headline “memory safety without GC”, there’s the rest of the superb type system, algebraic data types + destructuring, and emphasis on cost-free abstraction. All those promised benefits completely panned out. But these cost-free abstractions synergized to provide an unexpected benefit: production-quality crates are written in the same dialect of the same language that I’m writing. The result was a demystification of the programs that I write. The demystification revealed the beautiful hidden world of systems programming.

Basecamp’s wall of 1000 testimonials is quite powerful; I reckon there’s at least a few hundred really good ones for Rust already out there.

Although marketing techniques can very quickly tend towards ethical gray areas, I highly recommend taking all the good parts from this article about “social proof marketing”, which I dare say is underutilized right now considering the immense momentum of the Rust community,
