Right. I had disregarded the concern because I hadn't realized that
there was a large stabilization phase for a major release that happens
on a branch rather than on master.

So we definitely do need to fix this.

How about this:

	CC: mesa-stable at lists.freedesktop.org
	CC: "9.1" <mesa-stable at lists.freedesktop.org>
	CC: "9.2" <mesa-stable at lists.freedesktop.org>

?

I just tested and git-send-email does just fine with that, (it just
copies everything to the CC field of the email message).

And that should give us the information we need to know what to do.
