Sievers a Rust SIEVE filter editor

The repo delivers the two UX pieces you actually need: a visual rule builder plus a raw SIEVE editor and an IMAP connection dialog for direct uploads. It’s pragmatic — cross-compile notes, native build deps, and a tuned release profile (strip, LTO, size opt) show the author cared about distribution and binary size — but it’s solving a narrow, well-known problem rather than inventing one.
