Ugh, I am _so_ behind in looking at patches that only have a Fixes: tag
in it and not a "Cc: stable@" tag, due to the recent high-volume of the
latter.

But they will end up in a mbox that I need to dig out of eventually, but
it will take time, so if you know you want a patch in a stable release,
it's much easier to just use the "Cc: stable@" tag please.
