I don't mind being Cc'd to these bugs. What I do mind is that only the
tracing maintainers are Cc'd. I still care about these, because they do
depend on the tracing code, and it could be the tracing infrastructure's
fault. But if an error is in a file that is explicitly called out in the
maintainers file, such as, blktrace.c and bpf_trace.c, then PLEASE also Cc
the maintainers of those files!

I had to manually add those maintainers when I replied to the initial
email. That is something I shouldn't need to do.
