  - Security patches should not be sent to this alias, but instead to the
    documented [e-mail] address.
 
+Submitting to -stable automatically upon reaching Linus's tree:
+
+ - As mentioned above, patches must be merged into Linus's tree before being
+   considered for -stable. But, if you are sending a patch for inclusion
+   into Linus's tree that you know you will eventually submit to -stable when
+   it is merged then you can save yourself the trouble of tracking the patch by
+   adding:
+
+     Cc: stable <[e-mail]>
+
+   in the signed-off-by area of the patch. Then once it is merged with Linus
+   an email with the patch will be sent to [e-mail] automatically.
+
+   This only works for patches that are for both -stable and Linus's tree at
+   the time of submission. If a fix has already made its way into Linus's tree
+   or a maintainer's queue for Linus's tree then follow the regular submission
+   rules outlined above.
