Yes, the difference is the latter means "it is no longer maintained", and the former is "they claim to be maintaining it but everyone knows it's not really being maintained".

in theory "maintenance mode" should mean that they still deal with security issues and "no longer maintained" that they don't even do that anymore...

unless a security issue is reported it does feel very much the same...
