`http-parser` is required by `libgit2`, which will be replaced by `gitoxide` in
the (not so near) future.

I wonder what responsibilities go with "assisting with the development
of security fixes"? Does the Foundations team need to look for security
issues and vulnerabilities actively?

The Foundations team will take the responsibility to ask for demoting
the package in the future should Cargo switches to `gitoxide`.
