Maybe we should just remove MAINTAINERS from stable trees to make it obvious.
I don't think we should go quite that far. Instead, perhaps we can modify get_maintainer.pl (if needed) such that it prints out a warning or reminder to consult the upstream MAINTAINERS file if the script is invoked on an older stable kernel.
I don't see how that's feasible.
