Can you describe the bug it's fixing (what are the consequences) and how
often is it seen?

If it's not something everyone hits, it may be better to go via stable,
because the code change is quite large, so validating that nothing else
breaks with it at this stage (a week away from release) is quite
important.

You said in your change log:

        Applies on top of core-for-3.18

So the natural assumption would be this is for the merge window queue.
