I like this a lot -- I'm usually just copy-and-pasting someone else's cc
stable line, so I'll probably occasionally nominate my stuff for an
inactive stable branch.  I'm not too worried about patches accidentally
applying to too-old code.

FWIW, this is more or less how the kernel's stable branches have been
working for me -- I write a "Fixes: <short sha1> short commit subject"
line in the commit, and Greg cherry-picks it back to all stable branches
since that sha1 that it applies to.
