I’m wondering this because we realised that some of our dependencies (config-rs, hjson-rust (serde-hjson)) are abandoned, and it would be nice to let other people know.

Not directly (at least without admin intervention or transfer of the crate to someone like rust-bus).
What I’d encourage you to do is to create a
cargo crevreview of the crate, marking it as unmaintained. crates.io won’t show reviews (yet, I hope), but lib.rs has a tab that shows all known reviews (eg. on https://lib.rs/crates/typenum), and statements like “people note in their reviews that this is unmaintained” should show up there.Thanks, but setting that up looks extremely complicated.
It looks way more complicated than it is.
Maybe I should have rather linked to the “please participate” slide of when I presented this at Rust meetups: https://christian.amsuess.com/presentations/2020/crev/#/step-14
