DigestType is an enum of digest types for DNSSEC. For 5 ED25519 it specifies an RFC draft as the source, and the docs link to the relevant IANA registry as well.
github.com/hickory-dns/hickory-dns@7887002d11/crates/proto/src/rr/dnssec/digest_type.rs (L33)
github.com/hickory-dns/hickory-dns@7887002d11/crates/proto/src/rr/dnssec/digest_type.rs (L56)

By now, the IANA registry for "DNSSEC Delegation Signer (DS) Resource Record (RR) Type Digest Algorithms" does not specify 5 as ED25519 anymore, but as GOST R 34.11-2012, linking to RFC 9558.

I can try, but I'm not sure how deep I have to get into the codebase for this.

Trying is a good start, please open a draft PR if things get too messy.
