I don't remember what people said particularly, but I don't think our process for stable should rely on patch submitters having to add cc tags and resend stuff because that's a lot of faff for something most people don't care about. Whoever is maintaining stable ought IMHO to be making their own judgements about whether a fix is worth backporting based on their criteria for what kind of fix to put in that branch. -- PMM
