NFC stack in Linux is in poor shape, with several bugs being discovered
last years via fuzzing, not much new development happening and limited
review and testing.  It requires some more effort than drive-by reviews
I have been offering last one or two years.

I don't have much time nor business interests to keep looking at NFC,
so let's drop me from the maintainers to clearly indicate that more
hands are needed.
