`paste` dependency is no longer maitained

[djmaxus]

How to reproduce

1. Obtain simba 0.9.0 source code
2. Install caro-audit
3. Run cargo audit -Dwarnings in the crate's root

Result:

Crate:     paste
Version:   1.0.15
Warning:   unmaintained
Title:     paste - no longer maintained
Date:      2024-10-07
ID:        RUSTSEC-2024-0436
URL:       https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2024-0436
Dependency tree:
paste 1.0.15
└── simba 0.9.0

P.S. My crate indirectly depends on simba (via nalgerbra). My motivation to submit this issue might be a matter of taste: my CI requires cargo audit -Dwarnings to pass, which is probably too pedantic. Anyway, thank you for considering this issue, and please ask me to elaborate on my very brief report if needed.

I have the same issue.

For reference, aws-lc-rs removed paste as a dependency last month to address this issue: aws/aws-lc-rs#722

Is this crate still maintained? This is a trivial fix and has been sitting open with a PR to fix for 10 months now...
