It is as clear as mud now when stable at vger.kernel.org should be Cc'd and
when it should not.

Perhaps what you're missing is that it's an open mailing list (as was
stable at kernel.org), not an alias for 'the stable team'.  As with any
other kernel mailing list, you don't need to get explicit permission to
send mail to it.  So there is no 'should not'.

Then please explain why people keep getting Greg's standard form "this
is not how you submit patches for stable" when they CC a _discussion_
to the address.

When someone sends a patch that they want to be applied in mainline and
then later in stable updates, they must include the cc: line in the
commit message.  Actually cc'ing to the stable list is optional.

When someone sends a preliminary version of a patch for discussion, and
that might, after proper submission, be wanted in stable updates, that
line is not necessary.  The patch should however have '[RFC]' in the
subject, so everyone understands that this is not a request for the
patch to be applied.  This should not result in a form response.

I don't think this distinction between patch-to-be-applied and
patch-to-be-discussed is anything peculiar to the stable list.

[...]

As I have pointed out many times in this thread, there is inconsistency
between what you are saying, what Greg has said, what the documentation
says, and the reaction that people get from Greg when they do send to
that address.  Something needs to change, and that isn't me - it's how
the stable stuff operates.  Because it's very confusing and inconsistent
at the moment.

Fix that problem and we can then all move along.  Continue to ignore it
and I'll continue my crusade against this blatent inconsistency. :)

I'm still failing to see any inconsistency.

Ben.
