Yes, you can add a CC: <stable@...> tag to indicate that the patch is
-stable material (in which case please also indicate which -stable
series you want it to go to).

No, you should not CC -stable on the patch submission.

The CC: <stable@...> tag is for the maintainer you're sending the
patch to rather than for -stable itself.

Thanks,
Rafael
