When I asked for a change to the stable policy, it was an email
exchange with Greg where we setup what is essentially a shell glob to
filter out the files to skip unless explicitly tagged:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git/tree/ignore_list

I asked for it to be disabled for the LSM layer, SELinux, and audit.
I sent a note about it last year to the mailing list:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-security-module/CAHC9VhQgzshziG2tvaQMd9jchAVMu39M4Ym9RCComgbXj+WF0Q@mail.gmail.com

One thing I noticed fairly consistently in the trees I maintained is
that commits marked with a 'Fixes' tag were generally backported
regardless of if they were marked for stable.

I haven't seen that happening, and I wouldn't expect it in the future
as none of those patches were explicitly marked for stable or had a
'Fixes' tag.
