Yes. What I've always found missing from the stable work is a reference to the commit that introduced the bug/error condition, i.e. a tag like
Bug-since: <commit>
This should be possible to determine for the majority of patches I'd guess and it would be machine checkable for backporters.

2.6.32.9 Release notes Posted Feb 23, 2010 1:33 UTC (Tue) by bfields (subscriber, #19510) [Link] I occasionally wonder whether the "Bug-since:" pointer shouldn't just be the parent pointer.... That is to say, when applying a simple bugfix, first check out the commit that introduced the bug and commit there--at least in cases where the merge into recent upstream would be easy.
