I currently do not have much time to work on nixpkgs. Remove
myself as a maintainer from a bunch of packages to avoid that
people are waiting on me for a review.
These are all packages that I stopped using and hence just create noise
in my inbox for each change affecting them and let's face it, while I
still enjoy contributing to nixpkgs, it doesn't really make sense to be
listed there if I can't do much anyways.
Each of these packages can be taken over by someone or removed if
people think that's reasonable.
Of course, if other maintainers face issues, I can answer some questions
if needed & possible.
This doesn't work anymore and thus breaks the installation leaving a
broken `/var/lib/nextcloud`.
It isn't a big deal since we set this value in the override config
before, so the correct table-prefix is still used. In order to confirm
that, I decided to add a custom prefix to the basic test.
twisted is used in matrix-synapse for smtp handling.
Mostly this is used for password resets, but also notifications
are delivered that way.
older versions of twisted require the e-mail server to
have TLS1.0 enabled.
Obviously, quite a lot of servers have this disabled which means
synapse won't be able to deliver mails using such servers.
matrix-synapse issue:

Deluge 1.x requires Python 2 which upstream has end-of-lifed. Deluge depends
on pythonPackages.twisted, Python 2 support for which upstream has
nowdropped. If pythonPackages.twisted is upgraded then Deluge 1.x breaks.
So, remove it instead of leaving it broken.
Deluge 2.x (deluge-2_x) is available and continues to work.
Perform the tests on the package that the `tests` attribute is a child
of, i.e. if `discourseAllPlugins.tests` is built, the tests will run
with the `discourseAllPlugins` package, not the `discourse` package as
previously.
The problem behind this is that the hardened patchset[1]. Quite recently
this led to a weird problem when Linux 5.12 was dropped (and thus had to
be removed from `nixpkgs`), there were no patches for 5.13, so
`linuxPackages_hardened_latest` had to be downgraded to 5.10 as base[2]
which may be rather unintuitive and unexpected.
To avoid these kind of "silent downgrades" in the future, it makes sense
to drop the attribute entirely. If somebody wants to use a hardened
kernel, it's better to explicitly pin it using the newly introduced
versioned attributes, e.g. `linuxPackages_4_14_hardened`.
