Did a quick *rough* check:
* 65 #Linux #kernel CVE announcements from Greg so far
* 55 of those refer to a mainline commit
* 10 of those were marked for backporting to stable/longterm
And that's why Greg backports a lot of #LinuxKernel mainline commits to stable/longterm that are *not* tagged for backporting -- and why "only backport changes mainline developers[1] tagged for backporting" is a bad idea.
[1] reminder, such tagging is optional, as participation in stable/longterm is optional
