Reports of Rocket's revival are greatly exaggerated

Rocket has been dead for long stretches several times in the past. At this point, the pattern is 1-2 years of inactivity, then a little activity, maybe a release and promises of more active development, followed by another 1-2 years of inactivity.

The last time we went through this, an organisation was created to allow more contributors to take over instead of everything relying on the original creator. Well, that doesn't seem to have worked out, because the last commit to the repo was over a year ago:
https://github.com/rwf2/Rocket/tree/v0.5.1

Let's not recommend Rocket to newbies asking about which web framework they should use.
