it also says a few lines below:
- To have the patch automatically included in the stable tree, add the tag
Cc: sta...@vger.kernel.org
in the sign-off area. Once the patch is merged it will be applied to
the stable tree without anything else needing to be done by the author
or subsystem maintainer.
so fixes would be tagged earlier this way and merged automaticly.
