This seems to be working. And I should clarify that the first form:
CC: mesa-stable at lists.freedesktop.org
will always indicate the most-recently-branched stable tree.
That is, a simple CC of mesa-stable today will indicate a patch for the
9.2 branch. And in order to nominate a patch for the older 9.1 branch,
the CC: line must mention "9.1" specifically.
I've just updated the get-pick-list script which I use to maintain the
9.1 branch to match the above.
So, going forward, anyone wanting to nominate a patch for 9.1 should use
a CC: line that explicitly mentions "9.1" or else I'm likely to miss the
patch. For example, the following will work great:
CC: "9.1" <mesa-stable at lists.freedesktop.org>
Of course, if you want to nominate any commit that doesn't already that
CC line in its commit message, feel free to just manually send email to
mesa-stable with your request.
I plan to update the in-tree documentation for stable patches along
these lines soon.
