[PATCH net] MAINTAINERS: update TUN/TAP maintainers

From: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
Date: 2023-08-02 18:28:47

Willem and Jason have agreed to take over the maintainer
duties for TUN/TAP, thank you!

There's an existing entry for TUN/TAP which only covers
the user mode Linux implementation.
Since we haven't heard from Maxim on the list for almost
a decade, extend that entry and take it over, rather than
adding a new one.

No preference here. I checked that it's online so I saw no obvious
reason to delete it right away. It may also be a good idea to read
thru the in-tree docs and check that they still make sense.
I'd rather leave those kind of cleanups to the new maintainers :)
