I had the impression that he said he had collected (almost) all of the
necessary reviews, but nobody really seems to be interested to take the
series through their tree because no matter who you ask, the majority of
changes will always be for other subsystems.

And as record/replay is already listed as a separate subsystem in
MAINTAINERS, it seems to make sense to me that it also gets its own pull
requests rather than trying to get patches merged though the trees of
various subsystem maintainers who all aren't really responsible for it.
