[Pkg-javascript-devel] Dropping myself from uploaders of npm

Hi,

My motivation in updating npm was to be able use it with gitlab in 
stretch-backports. I was using npm to install yarn and then using yarn 
(npm's package-lock.json and yarn's yarn.lock is incompatible) for 
gitlab's node dependencies (hence gitlab in contrib).

Now yarn/yarnpkg is available in buster as a native package (thanks to 
Paolo) and in last upload to unstable gitlab switched to using yarn 
directly instead of npm. So I'm dropping myself from uploaders of npm. 
If anyone is interested to keep npm updated, you can jump in to 
maintain it now.

And for bullseye, I'd like to get rid of yarn dependency as well (and 
move gitlab back to main), but there is still a lot of dependencies 
unpackaged. Help is welcome there.

See https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Nodejs/Tasks/gitlab for current 
status.

Thanks
Praveen
