At least that might help in cases like this if maintainer is also oblivious.
I guess it wouldn't hurt at all to add a "green" warning if there is a "Fixes" tag and no "stable", something like this:
WARNING: There is a "Fixes" tag and no "Cc: stable <stable@vger.kernel.org>", please add the stable tag if patch is intended to be backported to stable kernels.
