There is always human interaction. If you just have 'Fixes',
this means someone will have to look at the patch carefully
and make a decision, since a lot of bugfix patches either don't
apply to old kernels or don't fall under the rules for stable
backports.
If the patch gets tagged Cc:, this means it is expected to be
backported and needs less manual work.

It can be added by whoever picks up the patch.
