As far as I'm aware, the backport to stable stuff parse these to know up
till how far back they should backport, but it still requires explicit
Cc to the stable@...r list... (not needed here as the "bad" commit never
made it to stable)
I'm not aware of anything else, but as you said, while I now see you
naming the commit now, I managed to miss it earlier and I was somewhat
following this so it's probably also easier on humans :)

I think a new one would be great, yes.
(my branch is on github, so Stephen does not appear to mind
non-kernel.org trees)
