No, please do add the stable tag if you think it is needed. And ensure
that the changelog explains why a backport is needed, by describing
the user-visible effects of the bug.
Tree-owners regularly forget to wonder if a patch should be backported
and we end up failing to backport patches which should have been
backported. If we have more people flagging backport patches, fewer
patches will fall through the cracks.
