I have not been able to give these devices the love they need for a
while now. Update the maintainers file to reflect the truth of the
matter.

I have not been able to give these devices the love they need for a
while now. My backlog is considerable, and the time I am able to
dedicate to ensuring that fixes don't break legacy operating systems is
slim. My native understanding of older operating systems and legacy
software is also quite sparse. Since the pandemic started, I haven't had
any access to any physical hardware to validate our emulation, either.

I need more expertise in verifying and validating that patches to these
systems to not harm older operating systems. If you know of any
automated (or semi-automated) tests that can be used as a test suite to
help validate that new patches don't regress support, I'd love to
discuss it.

Help Wanted, please! I don't want to keep letting people down over my
inability to give proper attention to these devices.
