   `cargo audit` has functionality to suppress advisories if you aren't 
impacted by them - 
https://github.com/rustsec/rustsec/blob/main/cargo-audit/README.md#ignoring-advisories
   
   > I also do not believe it is excessively onerous to ask the package 
maintainers to release a compatible patch for something serious enough to 
warrant a CVE number.
   
   If you are willing to help backport this fix, Andrew has kindly offered to 
cut a release for you. We're all volunteers here, I would ask you understand 
that our capacity and time is limited. 
   
   FWIW a CVE, much like RUSTSEC, is simply an advisory mechanism, in both 
cases it is expected that downstream projects assess said advisories, determine 
to what extent they impact them, and act accordingly. In this case a CVE was 
filed because it was reported via the apache security team, if it had been 
reported in a different manner it might have been a RUSTSEC advisory instead, 
there isn't anything special about a CVE that makes it warrant different 
handling from any other advisory.
