Hi there!

I remember there being a thread on `laminas-db` a while back, this one:

> [@Is "laminas-db" abandoned?](https://discourse.laminas.dev/t/is-laminas-db-abandoned/2721):
>
> Today we have 15 opened pull request and 11 opened issues. But we have no reaction of comunity. Last merge was 4 monch ago. Unit tests have errors. Tests for Oracle not support. Version 3 not activity since 31 Dec 2019. What is the future of the project “laminas-db”? If the development of the project is not planned, then you need to look for a replacement (for example, Eloquent from the Laravel project). In that case, why use Laminas?

To quote @ocramius, a laminas-maintainer:

> This means that we won’t put improvements in the projects besides:
> 
> - keeping it running
> - security maintenance
> 
> In order for `laminas/laminas-db` to receive new features, improvements and refactoring anything, we need an active maintainer that **owns** changes applied to the project.
> 
> Without such a maintainer, the architectural vision of the project is not there, and any changes landing it it would mostly be “random”, or perhaps just generate chaos and instability.

So, `laminas-db` is currently in need of a maintainer who can make it compatible to PHP 8.4.
