Just to clarify, having just the "Fixes:" tag is not necessarily an
indicator that a patch should go into -stable.

For example, if I fix up documentation and add a Fixes: tag to point to
the commit that added the original documentation, it's not -stable
material since we don't take documentation patches. Or, if the patch
that the new commit fixes didn't make it into any releases, it's not
stable material either.--
