People say that, yet it is not anywhere near Rust. But yes, I do wish people could now keep Zig submission under control. I dont want Zig community becomes another Rust community.

I don't think anybody has control over what gets posted on HN or not. People act independently and to whatever fancies them. Should the author of this blog post have avoided using Zig to keep the frontpage of HN more balanced? Obviously no. Maybe the curators of HN could prevent Zig posts from reaching the front page but they too have their own motives (eg having the frontpage reflect the topics of interest of the collective HN readership) and it might just be that these are Zig's 15mins of fame.
So I don't think your request can be fulfilled in practice and I don't think that Zig's popularity (or lack thereof) on HN will impact our community. I would recommend judging both Zig's and Rust's respective communities for how they are in their own social spaces (chatrooms, meetups, conferences) and for what they achieve on a concrete level (ie quality of the software they make), more than for what reaches the frontpage of HN with the brand name in the title.
