Is this maintained?

@dcuddeback looking to file an unmaintained advisory against this but wanted to check in with you first.

The reason this is important is that libusb is building against an old version of bit-sec that has an invalid Cargo.toml that will no longer be recognized as of Cargo 1.79, breaking builds of libusb and everyone who depends on it (see rust-lang/cargo#13824)

Looking over this repo,

• The last commit or release was in 2016
• Looking through the issues and PRs, I didn't see any activity from @dcuddeback since 2017 or so
• The proposed fixes for the aforementioned bit-set issues have not gotten attention (Updated bit-set crate to version 0.4 #15, Fix cargo error in bit-set crate by implementing own minimal BitSet #45)

Since the start of 2022, the only public activity for @dcuddeback 's profile is two commits to their dotfiles.

There was some activity on libusb-sys in 2021 that was never released.

rusb is a maintained fork, and my nusb crate is a pure-Rust rewrite that uses OS APIs directly instead of linking the C libusb library.
