It's gone from my inbox.
But as per Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst:
To have the patch automatically included in the stable tree, add the tag
.. code-block:: none
Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
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.
A Fixes tag only indicates which commit introduced a bug, not
necessarily that the patch should be backported to stable (even if
autosel is likely to pick it up these days).
