Isn't a solution as easy as teaching your tooling not to create/accept
commits on -next with Cc: stable? This way folks intending to push a
change will notice it should go to the fixes branch. And if only
afterwards you notice this is a critical fix that should get backported
at least the commit that takes more time entering mainline doesn't have
the stable tag.

Maybe additionally make sure that Fixes: and revert notices only point
to commits that are an ancestor.

If I understand the problem correctly, this should make the stable
maintainers happy.

Best regards
