+Subject: Add stable branch to maintainers file
+
+From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
+
+While helping someone to submit a patch to the stable branch, I noticed
+that the stable branch is not listed in the MAINTAINERS file.  This was
+after I went there to look for the email addresses for the stable branch
+list (stable@kernel.org).
+
+This patch adds the stable branch to the maintainers file so that people
+can find where to send patches when they have a fix for the stable team.
