pgBackRest activity undercuts HN dead-project claim

pgBackRest is an open-source PostgreSQL backup and restore system. The official site lists v2.58.0 as the current stable release, and recent GitHub activity suggests the project is still maintained.

// ANALYSIS

This is a maintenance-status story rather than a fresh product launch, and the available evidence cuts against the HN framing. The official site lists v2.58.0 as the current stable release, the GitHub repo shows late-2025 activity, and the project still solicits contributions and sponsorship.
