[Mesa-dev] GitLab Merge Request stable workflow question

[Jason Ekstrand]

Yes, it does work though the newer Fixes: tag is preferred. The process 
hasn't actually involved the mesa-stable making list in a while. Instead, 
there are scripts used by the release managers that troll the got lots 
looking for Cc: to stable and Fixes: tags and grabs the appropriate 
patches. Thanks to this, whether or not you git-send-email or not doesn't 
matter.
