No mention of it in dev or sysadmin mailing lists for 2020.

Found http://pkgsubmit.mageia.org/autobuild/results.php?run=2018-01-10&include_success=true
which shows ...
bashdb-4.3.0.9-7.mga7.src.rpm	 Removed	 missing_dep

The last build history shows ...
A requested package cannot be installed:
bashdb-5.0.1.1.2-2.mga8.src (due to unsatisfied bash[< 5.1])
While some packages may have been installed, there were failures.
A requested package cannot be installed:
bashdb-5.0.1.1.2-2.mga8.src (due to unsatisfied bash[< 5.1])
I: [iurt_root_command] ERROR: urpmi

https://sourceforge.net/projects/bashdb/files/bashdb/5.0-1.1.2/ is the latest
source, so it looks like the package is no longer being maintained or compatible
with the current version of bash.

Unmaintained packages that fail to build are being dropped from cauldron in
preparation for version freeze which will be soon.

Per Nelvig, if you find later that upstream has released a version compatible with Bash 5.1, please re-open this bug and we can re-introduce the bashdb package.  Until that happens, there is nothing that we can do.
