Do we have standartized way to mark "this is not for stable"? Because
I often think "I'd really hate to see this in stable"...

On a related note, it would be nice to have standartized way to
marking corresponding upstream commit. (Currently three methods are in
use).

Upstream: XXXX

in the signoff area would be nice, clearly marking who touched the
patch before mainline and who after.

Best regards,

Pavel
