Just run scripts/get_maintainer.pl on the files you are looking at and
it will tell you the mailing lists and people to cc: about them.

For example, if you have issues with the driver core functions in
drivers/usb/serial/visor.c, you can do:
	$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl --file drivers/usb/serial/visor.c
	Johan Hovold <johan at kernel.org> (maintainer:USB SERIAL SUBSYSTEM)
	Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh at linuxfoundation.org> (supporter:USB SUBSYSTEM)
	linux-usb at vger.kernel.org (open list:USB SERIAL SUBSYSTEM)
	linux-kernel at vger.kernel.org (open list)

Hope this helps,
