Subject: [PATCH] rtc: MAINTAINERS: drop Alessandro Zummo

Last email from Alessandro was in 2016, so remove him from maintainers
of the RTC subsystem. Stale maintainer entries hide information whether
subsystem needs help, has a bus-factor or is even orphaned.

unusual usage of Link: (which traditionally has an URL proving the patch
submission).

Maybe it would be a nice move to add him to CREDITS.

"If related discussions or any other background information behind the
change can be found on the web, add 'Link:' tags pointing to it."

It's additional information outside serving as an proof. It's like the
"background information".
