gebner has been an amazing maintainer, but appears to have moved on:
the last commit on nixpkgs appears to have been in Feb 2023, and
they have not been responding to pings (e.g.
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/347764).
They also approved https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/337292 before,
but that PR had some additional changes and was closed without merging.
This PR is in no way intended to diminuish Gabriel's accomplishments,
and they're welcome to just say so if they'd prefer this PR not to
be merged. Also, even if it's merged, of course they're always welcome
to return to activity and be added back. The intent of this PR is to
give more realistic expectations around the maintainership of these
packages, and to invite others to step up for maintainership if they
rely on those packages.
This seems in line with https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/master/maintainers#how-to-lose-maintainer-status
After final improvements to the official formatter implementation,
this commit now performs the first treewide reformat of Nix files using it.
This is part of the implementation of RFC 166.
Only "inactive" files are reformatted, meaning only files that
aren't being touched by any PR with activity in the past 2 months.
This is to avoid conflicts for PRs that might soon be merged.
Later we can do a full treewide reformat to get the rest,
which should not cause as many conflicts.
A CI check has already been running for some time to ensure that new and
already-formatted files are formatted, so the files being reformatted here
should also stay formatted.

checkInputs used to be added to nativeBuildInputs. Now we have
nativeCheckInputs to do that instead. Doing this treewide change allows
to keep hashes identical to before the introduction of
nativeCheckInputs.
