This is also the preferred way to do it for XFS.  Maybe word it in a way
that we can easily add subsystems.

To me it generally seems to be the best way to do it - having random Ccs
and lots of stable trees doesn't seem like a very good way of handling
it.

Maybe adding a mechanism to MAINTAINERS would be better.
Maybe a default B: (backport?) of stable@vger.kernel.org
with a per-subsystem override?

SUBSYSTEM TYPE
M:	maintainer@email.address
L:	list@email.address
S:	Supported
F:	file/pattern/
B:	stable@email.address

Sounds fine to me.
