The project has several maintainers and co-maintainers, and some of them appear to still active on Drupal.org.

Before changing the status of this to "Unsupported", we need to hear their opinion about this. I've sent a PM to each asking them to comment here. This is the PM:

Hi, I am a site moderator at Drupal.org.
The project DB Maintenance, where you listed as a maintainer or co-maintainer, has been reported to the site moderators as abandoned.
Please see:
https://www.drupal.org/project/projectownership/issues/3195855
and state whether you still are actively maintaining the project.
If there is no response from any present maintainer or co-maintainer saying that he/she is still committed to maintaining the project, the project's maintenance status will be set to "Unsupported" in about two weeks time.

For process of reporting projects as unsupported, please see: https://www.drupal.org/node/251466#s-reporting-projects-without-becoming...

I thought I marked it as unmaintained a long time ago and am surprised to see new maintainers on it and an active state. I have no plans to give this module any attention in 2021.

I didn't find any request to take over the project that would explain why the current project owner is Nafes. Unfortunately, the project revisions don't help either to understand when the change of ownership has been done, since they all report the last owner. (I don't know why.) I found #2607756: [db_maintenance] DB Maintenance created by Nafes.

Given the comment from deekayen, I take the module can be marked as abandoned.
VicOnt, who has done the more recent commits, have been contacted 21 days ago (more than 14 days ago). For a reply from other maintainers, we should wait until March 2.

Moving back to needs work since there was no reply from the other maintainers.
