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

commit 54d52fb6fe70 ("MAINTAINERS: Orphan Cadence PCIe IP")
Author: Bjorn Helgaas <bhelgaas@google.com>

    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.
