Concerns over NEW queue processing apparently is now the direct cause

Not "direct", no. "Unmaintained since 2023" is not a serious bug IMHO,
regardless of whether it has a "RUSTSEC" label sticked on it. So given that
1. severity serious would "needlessly trigger removals" (emphasis on
needlessly), as clearly stated in my answer to the bug report
2. fixing the bug requires a NEW package and the NEW queue seems to be
currently stuck because of the ftpmasters uncertainty, so there's not
much I can do to fix the bug soon, regardless of severity
3. keeping serious severity means I would have to periodically remember
to answer the bug to avoid the autoremovals, without being actually able
to act on the bug
4. the bug still merits increased attention
I think downgrading to important is the right thing to do. Plus I added
the affected package so we can keep track of that too.
For the record, no blame whatsoever on the ftpmasters team is implied by
this email.
Cheers.
