Subject: [PATCH v2] MAINTAINERS: Hand MIPS over to Thomas

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 Paul for your MIPS work.
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 ]
