Would anybody be interested in adding some sort of "stable" tag to the
subject lines of stable backport patches, e.g.,  instead of:

  [PATCH 001/104] htb: fix sign extension bug

something like:

  [STABLE 3.8.13.11 001/104] htb: fix sign extension bug

I don't mind having the stable patches on LKML, but it would be nice
if it were easier to distinguish stable backports from new patches.  I
know the patches are nicely threaded behind this message, but some
readers don't really pay attention to that.
