We'll see if 6.1 becomes LTS in 2022.
Rather than keep this table updated, it does duplicate information from multiple kernel.org pages. Make one less duplication site that needs to be updated and simply refer to the kernel.org page on releases.

Should this patch be backported to all stable releases? I see Cc: stable on message header, but not in the patch trailer.
I don't think so; unless people read stable versions of the documentation rather than HEAD? Perhaps I didn't need to cc stable, but I think that's ok for notifying people who are interested in stable, not necessarily strictly for backports? Either way, thanks again for the reviews+suggestions.
Some kernels are designated "long term" kernels; they will receive support -for a longer period. As of this writing, the current long term kernels -and their maintainers are:
====== ================================ =======================3.16 Ben Hutchings (very long-term kernel)4.4 Greg Kroah-Hartman & Sasha Levin (very long-term kernel)4.9 Greg Kroah-Hartman & Sasha Levin4.14 Greg Kroah-Hartman & Sasha Levin4.19 Greg Kroah-Hartman & Sasha Levin5.4 Greg Kroah-Hartman & Sasha Levin====== ================================ =======================+for a longer period. Please refer to the following link for the list of active +long term kernel versions and their maintainers:
