Ok, before you state something like that about kernel process rules, just go
to the source and confirm it:

Documentation/process/stable-kernel-rules.rst:

"Option 1
********

To have a patch you submit for mainline inclusion later automatically picked up
for stable trees, add this tag in the sign-off area::

  Cc: [email protected]"

So yes, you should very much cc stable. The additional reason being that the
stable team will pick up the patch faster instead of them running it through
AI, it finding the Fixes tag and determining whether it is backportable
material or not.

Oh, and if you want that to happen, you better write a good commit message
explaining what is happening and under which circumstances and why it needs to
be fixed.

:-)

HTH.
