[PATCH net-next 1/1] MAINTAINERS: update amateur radio status.

[Francois Romieu]

There is still useful work in the linux kernel amateur radio area but
it should not hurt to align advertised expectations in MAINTAINERS file
with Ralf Baechle's stance from 2021/07/17.

Hello,

I disagree.

I hoped Ralf will come back and waited with my offer to do the maintainership.

A question for the process: What needs to be done to get listet as maintainer?

There's no tag for "Organically Maintained" :o)

I issued 'git log -- net/ax24 net/netrom net/rose' and wandered through the
linux-ham archive.

"Odd Fixes" in Ralf's statement as "scattered, occasional, infrequent"
- thank you wiktionary ! - changes seemed to describe the current state more
accurately than plain "Maintained".

Someone sends a patch, there's no obvious consensus against the victim (was
there ever ?) as he is usually known for some decent track of work or
unformal, de-facto maintainership and he get listed within a few days.

Yup, there can also be multiple M: and/or additional R: lines..
