All these commits go through David Miller to Linus's tree. I'm not sure where the documentation is. I'd start with kernel.org or google for it.
As for pullups to the stable trees, you should ask the maintainer to pull patches you think are necessary.

What is the current policy of back porting fixes to LTS kernels? When I look at linux-4.9 kernel for i40e dirver, I see last commit from Mar 24 (661f5348696a39ace18fcc028513ef7527a036e3 - i40e: Do not enable NAPI on q_vectors that have no rings), while there have been a lot of work done since then on i40e driver.
