Motivation for this change

The maintainer of nomacs asked me to take over maintenance, since I've updated the package a short while ago. I'm okay with that. See the commit message for the email contents.

I've also taken the liberty to remove his name from the maintainers list, because he told me he's not using NixOS (or Nix) anymore. This leaves some packages without maintainer, but so be it. At least it's clear now that he won't do it anymore.

Also, I missed a patch that I've removed from the default.nix but was still present in the folder (see #87933), so that's removed now.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

The old maintainer @ahmedtd sent me the following email:

Title: Are you interested in being the NixPkgs maintainer for nomacs?
Body: I don't run NixOS anymore, so I can't really build or check the PRs.
This patch became obsolete in the previous update, so can be removed.
