We do not always take commits with only "Fixes:" tags on it. If you
know you want this in a stable tree, add the proper cc: stable tag on
the patch. That's been the documented way for 18+ years now :)
Sometimes when we get bored, we do run scripts that sweep the commit
logs and pick up patches with only "Fixes:" on it, but I've been busy
with other work these past weeks and have not done so, which is why this
was not picked up.
