[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#1082544: rust-tree-sitter: please upgrade to v0.22

[James McCoy]

Control: reassign -1 1082967 src:tree-sitter

Reassigning these bugs to src:tree-sitter since that's what produces the
respective binary packages now.

That's the same reason neovim is currently in experimental. I need to
work through its test failures before uploading everything to unstable.

I doubt that would work well. Tree-sitter itself isn't a big issue, but
the grammars are. The grammars define a tree which the applications
design queries around, so there's a very tight relationship between
grammar and application versions.

Tree-sitter upstream hasn't really considered the distribution
perspective when designing all this and essentially expects grammars to
be vendored with the using application. They're gradually trying to
improve things, but it's very slow moving.
