Fixing some commit is just too dangerous for the stable trees. Fixes tag
should tell what was the culprit of the issue fixed by the patch,
nothing more and nothing less.

Logically, I agree but then the only time I used the Fixes tag is when
I was tagging patches for stable and I can imagine people grepping for
the tag to backport.  Also, given that the offending commit is already
referenced in the description, the tag doesn't make much difference to
human beings.  I don't think it's a big deal either way but am more
inclined to follow Li's suggestion here given that he is maintaining
stable trees.

Thanks.
