Why weird? This is the phrasing used for some patches in the change set, and it means the same thing as the long version.

The title makes it sound like writing Rust for git will be mandatory

This, or a runtime dependency on rustc or something, was my initial impression as well. The link clarifies it pretty quickly though.

Once components are written in Rust, working on them will of course, but sure, the “test balloon” itself doesn't.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against any of that, I just don't get how this variant of the headline could be misleading
