The "trace-events" and "qemu-option-trace.texi" files in the top directory
are currently "unmaintained" according to scripts/get_maintainer.pl. They
obviously belong to the Tracing section, so add an entry for them there.

I agree qemu-option-trace.texi belongs to the Tracing section,
however I think trace-events is not specific to Tracing but belongs to
everybody maintaining a C file in the top directory... Since they'll
need to modify this file.

So without "trace-events":

Right ... but what do you do if you just want to fix something in the
generic comments of that file? Who's then responsible for picking up the
patch? ... well, updates to comments could maybe go through
qemu-trivial, too, so I'm also fine if we do not list trace-events in
MAINTAINERS. I'll leave this up to Stefan to decide.

I'd rather hear Stefan's opinion before outright nixing the addition of 
trace-events to his section - personally, I think any patch touching a 
trace-events is fair game for review by the tracing tree, even if it 
ends up going in through another tree.

Thanks for the discussion!

I'm happy to serve as a catch-all for trace-events patches (especially
trace events in unmaintained code).  It is preferrable for trace-events
changes to go via the subsystem, if there is a maintainer.

Thanks, applied to my tracing tree:
