I mean, it still works. Any big bugs could be shipped. It's just not active at the moment. Wouldn't an advisory cause a lot of warnings for people?
@seanmonstar if you'd prefer we don't file an advisory, we won't

Indeed it would. Generally we only file advisories when all maintainers are unreachable and are unable to transfer ownership and/or have explicitly specified that no updates are forthcoming. You can see the policy for more details (and please let me know if it's not specific enough).
The motivation is to advise people to migrate away from crates that will not be able to ship fixes for major security issues. Since this is not the case here, I don't see the grounds for an advisory.
Sean confirmed as much in https://github.com/hyperium/hyper/issues/2632:
@seanmonstar how do you feel about putting out an unmaintained advisory? Could point people to the mediatype crate.
