Describe to visitors of the repository what they can expect.

For example add a sentence to the top of the README.md like:

This repository is currently not maintained. We welcome people to fork this repository for further development and maintenance.

Should this also be mentioned in the project management chapter?

Yes, the End of a Project chapter already mentions support levels, but could be more explicit what to do with repos that are no longer maintained.
