Hi, thanks, I will do the release today, so stay tuned for the
announcement.

I also use a script, but it requires to be used with the git stable tree I'm
maintaining, and it fetches Linus HEAD looking for commits. It is the
stable/apply-stable-patches script from
git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/kteam-tools.git

It looks between the range of commits given on Linus tree, and the way
it works also maintains the same order as they were merged there. It's
not practical not using the git tree. For other patches that
aren't tagged for stable (Cc: stable), I'm monitoring the stable mailing
list or watching for requests, and I plan to do a comparison with other
stables to see if I didn't miss something.
