It's tagged for stable, so it'll get automatically selected/backported for stable kernels so long as the patch applies cleanly. That won't include 6.3 or 6.4 because those are already end-of-life, i.e. not LTS kernels, and not the most recent release. If the patch doesn't apply cleanly, e.g. I highly doubt it'll apply as-is for 5.15, then someone has to do a manual backport, where "someone" can be anyone. Sometimes that's a maintainer, but just as often it's someone that really cares about fixing something in a particular kernel.
