If you do scripts/get_maintainer.pl --rolestats <patch>, you'll see why
get_maintainer.pl picked these persons. I generally CC anyone that's "above"
commit_signer or that I know has an important relation to the patch (e.g. the
author of a driver you're editing).

If there are any mailing lists listed (linux-usb in this case), be sure to CC
them too (except LKML, I wouldn't CC them unless it's a special case like the
changes are kernel-wide or need to reviewed by a wide variation of audience or
...)

IIRC, these rules are also explained at Documentation/Submit*.
