Crates in the crates.io registry are tarball snapshots uploaded by crates' publishers. The registry is not using crates' git repositories. There is absolutely no guarantee that the repository URL declared by the crate belongs to the crate, or that the code in the repository is the code inside the published tarball.
To review the actual code of the crate, it's best to use cargo crev open section_testing. Alternatively, you can download the tarball of section_testing v0.0.5 or view the source online.
This crate implements "section testing" similar to Catch2 framework for C++.
The code is pure Rust, there is no dependencies, and there are no "unsafe". As such, there are no worries about unsoundness.
However, the algorithm here is pretty involved, and after spending 20 minutes staring at it, I still can't claim I grok how this code actually achieves what it achieves. However, I am confident that this code is not malicious, thus a positive rating.
