[commit] Remove self as patch champion

For the last several years, I have spent most of my personal GDB time
(not to be confused with my during-the-workday GDB time) doing things
that I felt "ought to be done".  Mostly this meant buckets of patch
review, user questions, and bug reports.  It sucks up all available
time, and as a result I have had not much time for what I actually
like to do: my own GDB projects.

I have not been doing a particularly good job at this, I do not feel
able to cope with the workload, and I'm not going to keep trying.  I
intend to continue reviewing patches when I can, but I am not going to
try to track every submission to the mailing lists.  Someone else is
welcome to step in (I haven't heard from Randolph in a while,
unfortunately).

Patch championing, and the other "ought" tasks I listed, are useful
and even vital to GDB.  But there are enough people needing assistance
and not enough people assisting that I can't do it all myself without
burning out. 

I've brought the patch tracker back up; it's at
http://gdb.false.org/patches/.  I'll be posting a patch to add that to
CONTRIBUTE tomorrow in the hopes it will be useful in keeping patches
from getting lost.

Meanwhile, applied.
