We have new mailing list (skiboot-stable at lists.ozlabs.org) for handling
stable trees!

Now onwards to submit patches to stable tree, one should send patches to
skiboot-stable at lists.ozlabs.org mailing list with subject prefix
[PATH <stable-version>] -OR- CC skiboot-stable at lists.ozlabs.org mailing
list while sending patches to upstream mailing list (skiboot at lists.ozlabs.org).

This will remove the requirement to do the --suppress-cc OR other related
--no-cc-* options from git-send-email to remove "CC" list.
