You can just add: > > Cc: stable@kernel.org Be careful when doing that - if you have git mail the patches out for review, and it picks that up, it'll send it to the stable team as well. The stable team will then complain "that's not how to submit patches to them". So, while you can add "Cc: stable@kernel.org" to the patch, its best to only add that just before you publish the commit after review, but before merging.
