Again, if you do NOT want your patches backported, because you always
mark them properly for stable releases, just let us know and we will add
you to the list of other subsystems and maintainers that have asked us
for this in the past.
We can't detect the absence of a tag as "I know exactly what I am doing"
because of the huge number of developers who do NOT tag patches, and so,
we have to dig through the tree to find fixes on our own.
