Description

c.f. https://github.com/rustsec/advisory-db/issues/2199

conv is one of the main two remaining usages of custom_derive, and is by the same maintainer, who has not been contactable.

https://github.com/DanielKeep/rust-conv/pull/14 and https://github.com/DanielKeep/rust-conv/issues/16 are examples of serious issues that have been ignored.

I'll start looking for alternatives.

Research direction

Start with rustsec/advisory-db issue #2199 and review the linked conv upstream pull request #14 and issue #16. Investigate maintained alternatives to conv and determine which replacement is suitable for the remaining custom_derive usage. Done means an alternative has been selected and the required advisory-db changes are identified.
