To the first question, obviously the sources of dependencies would be brought into the tree. This is easy and there's no reason I'm aware of not to do it for something like the Linux kernel.
To the second set of questions, how is this any different than any other dependency the kernel has? If the answer is "the kernel has no dependencies" then yeah, I'm very sympathetic to the argument that bringing in rust libraries is not a good reason to start having dependencies when none previously existed at all, but is that the case?
