[platform-releng-dev] Commit rights for John Arthorne have been expired

eclipse.platform.releng Committers,
David Williams has expired the commit rights for John Arthorne (johna). 
The reason for this change is:

I am cleaning up our committer list for those that are no longer active. 

In fact, via an email exchange, John said "I am fine with expiring my
releng commit rights. Honestly I don't even remember how I ended up as a
committer there, since I was very rarely active in the build side. In any
case I don't see myself needing them and it's good to clean up
permissions."

But I remember. Part of it, at least. According to Git, John was most
active between 2008 and 2011. And while John will not be remembered for his
contributions to releng (he contributed so much more elsewhere) he
was responsible for defining what the "platform" and "sdk" should be. 

Plus, John played a significant role in not only moving from "3.x" to "4.x"
stream but also in helping to figure out how to do BOTH of them at the same
time! Always an important step in transitions. 

Greatest thanks, John!
