Subject: [PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Remove Alex Gaynor as Rust maintainer

I've long since stopped having the time to contribute code or reviews, this
acknowledges that.

Geoffrey Thomas and I created the "linux-kernel-module-rust" project at PyCon
in 2018, as an experiment to see if we could make it possible to write kernel
modules in Rust. The Rust for Linux effort has far exceeded anything we could
have expected at the time.

I want to thank all the Rust for Linux contributors, past and present, who have
helped make this a reality -- and in particularly Miguel, who really
transformed this project from an interesting demo to something that could
really land in mainline.
