Yes, it does work though the newer Fixes: tag is preferred. The process hasn't actually involved the mesa-stable making list in a while. Instead, there are scripts used by the release managers that troll the got lots looking for Cc: to stable and Fixes: tags and grabs the appropriate patches. Thanks to this, whether or not you git-send-email or not doesn't matter.

I've gone through the document and have been working through the ml for the past few years. When using the ml, putting CC in the message and invoking git send-email will cause it to also get sent to the stable ml so it wasn't clear to me that it would still work that way with a merge request. I saw my commit end up in the new stable releases though so I suppose that answers my question, i.e. cc in the message is sufficient for both ml and mr submissions.

Thanks

There is a document about this in docs/, but I think you just need to add the Cc: stable tag or the Fixes: tag to the commit message of all commits you wanna nominate.

When doing an MR via GitLab, is adding the Cc: mesa-stable item enough to nominate it for inclusion in stable or does it still need to be separately sent to the stable mailing list?

The question is specifically wrt https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/merge_requests/806 since I'd like to see the fix in the next stable release, but it's really a broader workflow question of how stable is dealt with while both the MR and ML processes are active.
