Straight to -stable ?

That's the way it works. You put the Cc: stable on the *original* commit
that goes upstream. There's no sane way to retroactively add that tag
after it's already been merged and tested.

Yes, you can bug Greg manually to 'please add this upstream commit which
we forgot to mark as Cc: stable' but that isn't the way it's usually
done.

On the contrary, for networking I submit everything manually and I
remove the CC: tags.

I have a queue on patchwork that I add such patches to, so that they
do not get lost.
