proc-macro-error's maintainer seems to be unreachable, with no commits for 2 years, no releases pushed for 4 years, and no activity on the GitLab repo or response to email.

proc-macro-error also depends on syn 1.x, which may be bringing duplicate dependencies into dependant build trees.

This appears to have silenced in main https://github.com/sigstore/sigstore-rs/pull/387/files

This that a temporary solution, do we plan on monitoring this further?

I've reported the issue to oci-spec, which is including this dependency. There's hope this is going to be addressed soon. See containers/oci-spec-rs#209
