Is it me, or are the permissions missing? Is the access to DB Maintenance secured by some other mechanism?
I know it cannot do any direct harm, but there is always an idiot happy to mess with things he does not understand (eventually with disastrous consequences).

Yes, you need 'administer site configuration' permission to admin the module. In the _menu() hook, see

 'access' => user_access('administer site configuration'),

Are you asking for there to be a 'administer db maintenance' permission in access controls?

You are right. I try to discourage people from using a shared admin account, so I need to give users proper permissions. It's not a life or death requirement, but it would be oh so nice!

In that case, look for it in 6.x I guess - it's not a big change to the code.
