[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#922396: Bug#922396: Updated package / patch and status information

[Ximin Luo]

I was the last person to upload noscript in 2018.

The reason why I haven't updated it since 2018 is because I've moved onto using umatrix personally and also maintaining it in debian.

umatrix gives you more fine-grained permissions including cookies, XHR, etc, so you don't need to install a 2nd extension to manage your cookies. It's written by the same author as ublock-origin.

>From what I remember noscript maintenance in terms of Debian packaging was also a pain. umatrix maintenance is pretty simple.

I encourage everyone to move to umatrix and drop noscript.

Best,
Ximin
