The "maintained" refers to `exa`, which is also written in Rust.
Rust binaries are static, which means they need to be rebuilt when security fixes are published on one of their dependencies.
Without active development to at least update, the static binary becomes a liability.
On another note, the developers on exa did explicitly say the project was unmaintained:
