I hope so. In the meantime, I applied the patch below to for-linus
for v6.7. I don't think there's value in keeping an email address
that goes nowhere.

commit 54d52fb6fe70 ("MAINTAINERS: Orphan Cadence PCIe IP")
Author: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com>
Date: Tue Dec 26 18:43:03 2023 -0600

MAINTAINERS: Orphan Cadence PCIe IP

Tom Joseph <tjoseph@cadence.com> is listed as the maintainer of the Cadence
PCIe IP, but email to that address bounces and lore has no correspondence
from Tom in the past two years
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/?q=f%3Atjoseph).

Mark the Cadence IP orphaned and add Tom to CREDITS.
