Public bug reported:

http-parser has been deprecated [0] for llhttp [1] in libgit2.

http-parser is unmaintained. There is nobody writing security patches
for http-parser. It should be removed as a libgit2 dependency and then
removed from the main archive.

Note http-parser's MIR clause [2]:

  Security team propose a conditional ACK for promoting http-parser to main
  upon Foundations team's acknowledgment of their commitment in assisting with
  the development of security fixes, in the absence of upstream support, as
  well as their responsibility to ask for demoting the pacakge in the future
  once a suitable alternative is identified and deemed feasible.
