My original commit was somewhat more tongue in cheek, but I think this
time I'm going to be honest, rather than hiding behind humor.
I'm angry that we as a community have reached a point where we're
falling apart because people would rather accept sealioning and bad
faith arguments that belong in a 2002 mailing list, not a 2024 software
community.
Every time I dare come back to the Nix community as a more active
contributor it feels like we have a fresh wave of controversy that we
don't ever heal from, everyone just moves on, more tired, and more
broken than before. And now it's crossed a line.
I'm out.
I hope the community decides to actually try and heal. Tolerating the intolerant
for too long has consequences - and the [paradox
of tolerance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance) has
come to its natural conclusion here.
If it does heal, I'll be back with a vengeance, because it turns out replacing
Nix is hard - emotionally and technically, and I'll miss it.

(this commit+PR are not a place for useless debates.)
Please accept this letter as formal notice of my resignation from the
position of "Community Member" at DeterminateSystems.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to work in this position - I
have thoroughly enjoyed being frustrated and saddened whenever
interacting with the DetSys community. However, I've decided it is time for me
to move on to another community that will hopefully be less tolerant of
willful hate and sexism.

The transition from Python 3.10 to 3.11 broke offlineimap due to an
incorrect sqlite3 multi-threading check. Although addressed upstream, it
hasn't been released yet. This commit backports the necessary fix, which
can be removed upon the next offlineimap release.
Idea shamelessly stolen from 4e60b0efae.
I realized that I don't really know anymore where I'm listed as maintainer and what
I'm actually (co)-maintaining which means that I can't proactively take
care of packages I officially maintain.
As I don't have the time, energy and motivation to take care of stuff I
was interested in 1 or 2 years ago (or packaged for someone else in the
past), I decided that I make this explicit by removing myself from several
packages and adding myself in some other stuff I'm now interested in.
I've seen it several times now that people remove themselves from a
package without removing the package if it's unmaintained after that
which is why I figured that it's fine in my case as the affected pkgs
are rather low-prio and were pretty easy to maintain.
This makes the command ‘nix-env -qa -f. --arg config '{skipAliases =
true;}'’ work in Nixpkgs.
Misc...
- qtikz: use libsForQt5.callPackage
This ensures we get the right poppler.
- rewrites:
docbook5_xsl -> docbook_xsl_ns
docbook_xml_xslt -> docbook_xsl

* pkgs: refactor needless quoting of homepage meta attribute
A lot of packages are needlessly quoting the homepage meta attribute
(about 1400, 22%), this commit refactors all of those instances.
* pkgs: Fixing some links that were wrongfully unquoted in the previous
commit
* Fixed some instances
