I think it makes sense to add

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

If you do, it will be merged into stable kernel versions.

I agree, but this is something the upstream maintainer can also add at
their discretion.

After feeling stupid for a few minutes, given that
stable@vger.kernel.org was already in the Cc list of my messages, I
realized that you meant to also include it in the message body (or
have I got it wrong again?).

In the message body, yes.  It would look like:

<blah blah blah>

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
Signed-off-by: <you>

<patch>

No, I think I've spammed everyone enough for one evening and I would
also like to put some distance between myself and git, at least for
today.
If deemed necessary, I will do it tomorrow.

Marcel will let you know I'm sure.  I hope he can just add it if he
thinks it is applicable.

Thank you all for everything so far, it's been educational.

Thanks for persisting through this.  The first time is always the
hardest, and it is great to see people being helpful to a new
contributor.
