Idea shamelessly stolen from 4e60b0efae.
I realized that I don't really know anymore where I'm listed as maintainer and what
I'm actually (co)-maintaining which means that I can't proactively take
care of packages I officially maintain.
As I don't have the time, energy and motivation to take care of stuff I
was interested in 1 or 2 years ago (or packaged for someone else in the
past), I decided that I make this explicit by removing myself from several
packages and adding myself in some other stuff I'm now interested in.
I've seen it several times now that people remove themselves from a
package without removing the package if it's unmaintained after that
which is why I figured that it's fine in my case as the affected pkgs
are rather low-prio and were pretty easy to maintain.
There's still no new release, but since there are ~120 commits since
August with several dependency bumps and improvements regarding the
compatibility with the GNU coreutils.

Currently the installation on Darwin fails due to a bug in the
installation script: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/34840#issuecomment-369227222
As I lack knowledge and resources to properly test this package against
Darwin I'll disallow Darwin builds for now.
`uutils-coreutils` is an a cross-platform rewrite of GNU/coreutils based
on Rust. It aims to increase portability and improve Windows support
(see https://github.com/uutils/coreutils#why).
Since the derivation provides the same binaries as `coreutils` does a
`prefix` argument as been added to the function to avoid any conflicts
that can be used like this:
``` nix
self: super:
{
uutils-coreutils = self.uutils-coreutils.override { prefix = "uutils"; };
}
```
Resolves#28114 /cc @NeQuissimus
-----
Important notice: the patch depends on #34505 which needs to be merged
*FIRST* as it fixes a bug in the `rustc` setup of nixpkgs (see the PR's
discussion and 5c9665f41c (commitcomment-27271420) for further reference).
