Some people assume this, but the stable maintainers themselves say that Cc'ing stable@vger.kernel.org on in-development patches is fine: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200423184219.GA80650@kroah.com
And doing so is pretty much inevitable, since the tag gets picked up by 'git send-email'. (Yes, there's also "stable@kernel.org", but it's not actually what is documented.)
