Subject[PATCH v2 4/5] docs: stable-kernel-rules: explain use of (w/o @vger.)
Date
Document when to use of stable@kernel.org instead of
stable@vger.kernel.org, as the two are easily mixed up and their
difference not explained anywhere[1].

@@ -72,6 +72,10 @@ for stable trees, add this tag in the sign-off area::

Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

+Use ``Cc: stable@kernel.org`` instead when fixing unpublished vulnerabilities:
+it reduces the chance of accidentally exposing the fix to the public by way of
+'git send-email', as mails sent to that address are not delivered anywhere.
+
Once the patch is mainlined it will be applied to the stable tree without
anything else needing to be done by the author or subsystem maintainer.
