Very hot atomized powder residue and other deposits from the combustion process.

I would just clean it as you normally would.
If the copper residue doesn't come off, you could try a little bore solvent, like the ones designed for cleaning copper jacket residue.

Especially if it's not impeding function.

Mechanical removal means will eventually remove the blue then the marks will be permanent.
Lead wipes remove the marks from stainless guns well but remove blue rather quickly. Best for blued guns is soaking them in choke insert and gas piston cleaners like Slik 2000 and others.

Those are what are sometimes called "burn rings", they are a tell-tail sign that a revolver has been fired. I used to obsess over cleaning and would try to remove the burn rings. I gave up. Every time you shoot a revolver, you will have burn rings around the edge of each chamber that is fired. All I do now is clean with solvent and make sure that there is no lead or residue on the face of the cylinder.
