Tagging of -stable patches

Hello,

I have a question regarding tagging of patches targetted in -stable
kernels. We have this 'CC: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # something' tag. Now
inconvenient thing is that when I create a patch and have such tag in it,
then git-send-email will mangle the address because of the #. Now even if
git-send-email started to ignore the part after #, we don't really want
stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to get the patch since it is eligible for -stable
only after it is merged upstream. So the CC form of the tag seems to be
kind of inconvenient. Won't it be better to have some different tag?
