[PATCH 0/9] MAINTAINERS: wifi: driver cleanup

[Kalle Valo]

I did some cleanup in MAINTAINERS file. Marking Ping as the rtw88 maintainer
and orphaning a lot of old drivers.

Please review.

[PATCH 1/9] MAINTAINERS: wifi: rtw88: change Ping as the maintainer

[Kalle Valo]

Yan-Hsuan has been away since 2021 and Ping has been the de facto maintainer
the past year, actively reviewing patches and doing all other maintainer
duties. So fix the MAINTAINERS file to show the current situation.

Remove the zd1211-devs list, I doubt anyone uses it anymore. The webpage seems
to be down so remove that as well.

Kalle,

Michael Buesch and I have been unofficial maintainers of this driver for years, 
but your change makes sense.

I would be more than happy to add you and/or Michael as b43 maintainers!
But I don't want to force anyone, it's not exactly a fun role :) Just
let me know what you prefer.

Given my advanced age, I have been busy trying to get rid of responsibilities, 
not take on new ones. I think making the driver an orphan is OK. As long as I am 
capable, I will continue to address any bugs that turn up.
