Jiri, are you adding the Cc: mark to these when you apply them? I misunderstood your previous statement about that and thought CCing like in recipients was enough. There is one thing which is not 100% clear to me from the doc (my fault): are patches targeted to -stable to be sent _twice_? Once for linus master branch (this is what "upstream" means in that context, isn't it?) and once for -stable with the commit ID of the former? Is the Cc mark meant just to automate this very process? It seemed to me that items 1 and 2 of the "Procedure" in Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt are alternative each other.
