Thanks for your great job!
We have a dedicated repo for TLA+ spec, and there is already one spec for Raft https://github.com/pingcap/tla-plus/blob/master/Raft/Raft.tla, though just for Raft consensus algorithm itself.
I think your work would be a great complement for that. How about moving this to that repo and adding a link in raft-rs?

We've made a formal specification for Raft in paper "In Search of an Understandable Consensus Algorithm" and a certain scale of model checking to verify the correctness of raft-rs(currently still running). There may exist differences between our specification and Raft in paper or in implementation. Please let us know flaws of specification if you have any question.
