It looks like the right path is:
https://drm.pages.freedesktop.org/maintainer-tools/repositories/drm-rust.html

Heh, seems like there's an explicit redirect for drm-misc:

https://drm.pages.freedesktop.org/maintainer-tools/drm-misc.html

I think we should get the same redirect, so the links in MAINTAINERS are
consistent with each other.
