This is up to the subsystem maintainers where the respective abstractions may belong to. Some subsystems prefer to get a co-maintainers for the entire subsystem (e.g. because they want help with maintenance; see "M:" entries with "(RUST)"), others prefer to have a sub-entry (sub-subsystem) where you would maintain the Rust side (see e.g. entries' titles with "[RUST]"), others prefer to own the Rust code, etc.
Then another question is how the patches should flow: some maintainers may prefer to get a PR from you, others may prefer to take the patches directly after you review them, etc.
I have some notes at:

I hope that helps!
