Yeah, lore did not get anything more than cover letter. What's more
interesting, the cover letter mention exynos:
  drivers/usb/host/xhci-exynos.c | 2025 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
so get_maintainers.pl should point you to additional people and lists,
which are not present here.

What is even more interesting, such file
"drivers/usb/host/xhci-exynos.c" does not exist... which could explain
missing CC above, but raises question what is this cover letter from? Is
it still Linux kernel or some other project?

Best regards,
Krzysztof
