When in doubt, the scripts/get_maintainer.pl tool in the kernel
sources can be helpful.

The results for the debugfs and relay files are fairly generic, but if
you look at the results for the blktrace.c file you get a more
reasonable list of maintainers and mailing lists.  I believe Jens has
already commented on your patches at least once, I don't recall if the
others have or not.  I see you've already CC'd the block mailing list,
so that might be enough.

Keep in mind that we are in the middle of a merge window so it is very
possible this patch might not be merged in a working/next/etc. branch
until after the merge window closes (every maintainer is a little bit
different in this regard).
