Comment (by lcvisser):

 All good points.

 My motivation for opening the ticket was that someone pointed out that
 p7zip has a number of open CVEs against it. A bit further digging shows
 that there is a [https://github.com/p7zip-project/p7zip newer fork] that
 is at v17 but now also abandoned (last update 3 years ago). I'm unsure if
 there's a good way forward here...
