My experience tells they do.
Let's ask them:
@stable folks, do you guys take patches based only on Fixes: tags nowadays or you still require CC:stable to be present in the commit message?
If you know you want a patch in the stable tree, add cc: stable.
Because not all maintainers remember to do so, we do dig through all patches with just the fixes: tag, and try to backport them if needed, but it does not always happen, and there can be long lags as well.
So again, if you know you want it in a stable kernel, add the cc: stable.
