Valid point. Even though Greg doesn't have a problem with the current
procedure as it stands, I see a problem in marking things for "Cc:
stable@xxxxxxxxxx" just as a search pattern once they hit the Linux
mainline tree. Particularily because as it will end up in the
recipient list with git send-email, stable@ will get all the
follow-ups and discussions when people blindly hit the Reply-to-all
button (which we tell them to do). I for one would add
stable@xxxxxxxxxx to my .gitconfig and be done with it, without ever
thinking about it again.

It's really not a big thing, and we can drop this patch if anyone has
real objections, but as it doesn't break anything for existing use
cases and might help others, why not apply it?
