Wow, not sure how that got missed. Will fix.
The Maintenance DB is the database that pgAdmin first connects to.
Unlike some DBMSs, all PostgreSQL connections must be made to a
database, you cannot connect and then select a database. This database
is normally 'postgres' in PostgreSQL 8.1+, prior to that, template1 was
generally used.
