We have a little script in our maintainer toolbox for bugfixes, which generates the Fixes: line, adds everyone from the original commit to the cc: list and also adds Cc: stable if that sha1 the patch fixes is in a release already. I guess we trained people a bit too much on using Fixes: tags like that with the tooling, since they often do that for checkpatch stuff and spelling fixes like this here too. I think the autoselect bot also loves Fixes: tags a bit too much for its own good. Not sure what to do, since telling people to "please sprinkle less Fixes: tags" doesn't sound great either. I also don't want to tell people to use the maintainer toolbox less, the autogenerated cc: list is generally the right thing to do. Maybe best if the stable team catches the obvious ones before adding them to the stable queue, if you're ok with that Greg? Also adding dri-devel here in case this becomes a bigger discussion.
