Hm, a bit confused. I seem to remember, that one of subsystem maintainers, 
to whom I also submitted a patch, that should also have been forwarded to 
stable, told me, that adding this "Cc: stable@..." tag was a task of 
subsystem maintainers, in that case his task, and not of individual 
submitters, which might only indicate their opinion in this respect. Am I 
wrong?

Thanks
