A commit with a Cc: pseudo-header for this address will
be picked up by stable maintainers once Linus pulls the commit
If it doesn't apply to a stable branch, the author is usually
notified and may provide a backported version
Any commit in Linus's tree, or a fix for a stable-only
regression, can be nominated by mail to this list, if it
meets the criteria - see
Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt
