For context, Sasha explains here: https://www.spinics.net/lists/stable-commits/msg190151.html (the conversation is somewhat truncated, unfortunately, because stable-commits@vger.kernel.org ate my replies) that 13 patches were backported to get the unrelated commit 9200f515c41f ("net: dsa: tag_mtk: fix 802.1ad VLAN egress") to apply cleanly with git-am.
I am not strictly against this, even though I would have liked to know that the maintainers were explicitly informed about it.
Greg, could you make your stable backporting emails include the output of ./get_maintainer.pl into the list of recipients? Thanks.
Did it not happen here? I've looked at Greg's script[1] and it seemed to me like it does go through get_maintainer.pl.

That's just a script I use for "normal" kernel development when creating patches, not for stable stuff.
thanks,
