  We propose a way to incorporate the effect of a specific class of feedback
processes into stochastic thermodynamics. These "Maxwell demon" feedbacks do
not affect the system energetics but only the energy barriers between the
system states (in a way which depends on the system states). They are thus of a
purely informational nature. We show that the resulting formalism can be
applied to study the thermodynamic effect of a feedback process acting on
electron transfers through a junction.
