Maintenance mode just suggests that no one is currently trying to make it any faster.

  Indeed, I draw a stark line between "maintenance mode" and "abandoned". The glob crate isn't abandoned, it still accepts patches, but it doesn't appear to be anyone's priority. EDIT: It's also worth mentioning that there's an important mental distinction between a "1.0-level" maintenance mode crate and a pre-1.0 maintenance mode crate, as the former at least implies that somebody considers the crate to be marginally usable and feature-complete. glob is a pre-1.0 crate, so even though patches are accepted, I wouldn't necessarily consider it to be well-vetted without doing more research.

    This makes sense, but seems unlikely to be what most people hear when you say something is in maintenance mode. In particular, "keep the lights on" is a death sentence for most projects.
