A thread on Reddit yesterday led me to investigate a few different JSON crates in the ecosystem. One of the most popular ones beyond serde-json that reported fast benchmarks is json. I investigated it and discovered users have asked if the project is abandoned without reponse. Given how popular this crate appears to be given the recent downloads, I felt an unmaintained advisory was warranted.

Scanning the issues list, I also found this issue that may introduce undefined behavior. This triggers a Miri error under the stacked borrows model, but I'm not sure if that's enough to warrant a mention in the advisory or not.
