Sad to hear, but grateful for your work on *ring* and its vision.

@briansmith looking at briansmith/ring#2414 it sounds like you want to put the project in a state we would normally describe as “passively maintained”.

If you still want to file this advisory out of caution because there may be delays in e.g. addressing security vulnerability reports, we can do it, but I wanted to make sure you want to go through with this even though it’s a bit outside our normal criteria for “unmaintained” crates.

Thanks Tony. I edited my statement in the thread you linked to be a little clearer. It is best to have it marked "unmaintained" in the advisory DB and I would like this to happen ASAP.

I've opened a PR to add an advisory here: #2228
