I suspect that either b4 or get_maintainer could see the Fixes tag and then suggest to Cc stable for me.
Should get_maintainer.pl make such recommendations?
People use the Fixes tag all the time for bugs that never made it into a release...
As Nick suggests, likely not. Many fixes do not belong in stable and are only commits that update the current rc.
get_maintainer checks the "fixes:" tag and cc's the signers of the commit being fixed.
