Releasing maintainership of packages

Hi,

Since I've been out of the KDE scene for a while and haven't run it
myself either, I'm taking myself off of the packages for those that I am
a co-maintainer for (thanks to Jens Petersen for scripting it so I
wasn't making even more mails with lots of checkbox clicking). For those
that I am the primary maintainer for, I offer maintainership here first.
Here are the packages I own:

    bilbo           (should probably just be orphaned across the board
                     since kdepim has it now)
    qca2            (comaintainers CC'd)
    krazy2
    krename
    kdevplatform    (comaintainers CC'd)
    kde-plasma-networkmanagement

I learned lots of packaging tips and pitfalls to avoid from my work with
the SIG and am grateful for it, but I've been using XMonad and other
things of late and it doesn't appear as though I'll be returning to KDE
as a user. It's great technology, I love it, and I recommend it to those
who know their way around Linux or are looking into programming an
application (KDE's libraries are still among the nicest I've seen
around, and certainly top for GUI applications). Unfortunately, getting
things to work as I've gotten my machines to run is probably still
outside its scope.

I'll probably still pop in the IRC now and then to help friends if they
need it and I can't poke it into working. Hope to meet up with those of
you who are going to be at FUDCon Tempe and at future conferences
(hopefully I'll make it over to Europe one of these days).
