Do changesets that already included the "Fixes:" tag in the commit
description also need to include the "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org" in
order to be included in stable?

As per the documentation:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html
You should be putting cc: stable@... on the patch.
But as not all maintainers do, we have to dig through those with Fixes:
in order to actually catch all bugfixes :(
So please, use cc: stable.
thanks,

Makes sense - I had noticed a patch which I was going to include in next P/R
which was missing this (fixed now).
