*/*: drop qt from maintainers for end-user applications

Also including their (non-Qt) deps that Qt itself does not need.

Bare rare exceptions, nowadays the Gentoo's Qt project is intended
to maintain Qt itself and not end-user applications that merely
happen to use Qt. This may have worked in the past but we do not
have enough interested members to maintain these.

*Most* of these were effectively unmaintained by Qt and recent'ish
commits were drive-by from other developers. This is done to reflect
reality better, and hopefully let these packages gain proper
maintainers (or at least make it clear that anyone can work on them).

Closes: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/36508
