i don’t think that is a command. The closest would be: “MAINTAIN VERTICAL SPEED, MAINTAIN,”

Check the document mentioned in post no. 2, the table is on page 36.
Actually CM is not "wrong" as "Maintain Vertical Speed, Maintain" is a TCAS Aural Annunciations (ref. table 4 of the FAA document discussed) BUT in the case we are considering of a weakening RA the proper instruction would definitely be "LEVEL OFF, LEVEL OFF".
Sometimes the confusion arises between "adjust" vertical speed (7.0) and "maintain" vertical speed (7.1) but the latter has a different meaning.
