Is it useful to mention the RustSec advisory RSS feed as a method to stay informed about these kinds of things? |

This is ready for review (ping @rust-lang/crates-io in general, and @carols10cents in particular, since we were talking about this yesterday). |

Just waiting for rustsec/advisory-db#2642, then I'll push another update and we can merge this. |
