My time with MIPS the company has reached its end, and so at best I'll
have little time spend on maintaining arch/mips/.
Ralf last authored a patch over 2 years ago, the last time he committed
one is even further back & activity was sporadic for a while before
that. The reality is that he isn't active.
Having a new maintainer with time to do things properly will be
beneficial all round. Thomas Bogendoerfer has been involved in MIPS
development for a long time & has offered to step up as maintainer, so
add Thomas and remove myself & Ralf from the MIPS entry.
Ralf already has an entry in CREDITS to honor his contributions, so this
just adds one for me.

Thank you Thomas for stepping in :)

Crap can work. Given enough thrust pigs will fly, but it's not necessarily a
good idea. [ RFC1925, 2.3 ]
