Since Martyn's last VME subsystem review [1], VME maintainers are inactive
with respect to the subsystem. While Martyn is now working for Collabora,
Manohar is AFAIK MIA (his last email about 9 years ago).
Update MAINTAINERS to reflect above situation.

He is now active on the mailing lists using his Collabora
(@collabora.com) address. Reflect it in MAINTAINERS and also
add address mapping for him.

Hmm, mapping yes, changing the email assigned to the VME stuff, no. This
is not something that I consider related to my work at Collabora. Any
time spent on it at this point will be personal time, hence the use of
my non-work email address.
Realistically, I've lost access to hardware to test anything regarding
VME and it's not something that's particularly easy to acquire. With the
other patch in this series removing Manohar, removing me as a maintainer
would leave Greg, who has been amazing covering my shoddy maintenance of
this subsystem (what can I say, life has rather got in the way), but I
feel it's unfair to leave him as the sole maintainer. I wonder whether
I/we should admit this is basically orphaned at this point?

I also feel similar thing when basically the subsystem gets more care from
kernel janitors (including outreachy applicants and people specializing
in checkpatch fixes) than real users, like the case of DECNET [1]. So
I'm agree to orphan VME.
Thanks.
