+## New Maintainer
+
+As of 2026, dbdeployer is actively maintained by the [ProxySQL](https://github.com/ProxySQL) team, with the blessing of the original creator [Giuseppe Maxia](https://github.com/datacharmer). We are grateful for Giuseppe's years of work on this project.
+
+**Roadmap:**
+- Modern MySQL support (8.4 LTS, 9.x Innovation releases)
+- ProxySQL and Orchestrator integration as deployment providers
+- Provider-based architecture for extensibility
+- PostgreSQL support (long-term)
+
+See the [Phase 1 milestone](https://github.com/ProxySQL/dbdeployer/milestone/1) for current progress.
