I'm just pointing out (as I do pretty much any time somebody
says "hey you should have cc'd stable") that this workflow
isn't working for me as a contributor or as a submaintainer.
If you can document and define how it's actually supposed to
work and what the policy is for what counts as a bugfix that
should target stable (I couldn't find anything on the wiki)
then that might help. We should probably discuss this on the
call, yes.
