I found this report confusing.

It seems like it's saying a patch with "Fixes: ..." *must* include a
"Cc: stable" tag, but that is wrong, it's up to the developer to decide.

What it's trying to say is that the patch was Cc'ed via mail to
stable@vger.kernel.org and that is not the correct way to request stable
inclusion.

So can I suggest the report begins with something like:

  Your patch was Cc'ed via mail to stable@vger.kernel.org but that is
  not the correct way to requestion stable inclusion, the correct method
  is ....
