Recently there was a commit (no corresponding drupal.org issue) to remove the previous database API maintainer from MAINTAINERS.txt.
Without getting into the Drupal drama and politics (plentiful though they may be...) there was a problem with this commit. It didn't use the standard method for indicating that a component in MAINTAINERS.txt no longer has any maintainers. Instead, it basically left the "Database API" as if it were only a parent category for the three database drivers that ship with Drupal core.
This is not correct, since most of the database API code isn't driver-specific. It could definitely still use a maintainer.
