Re: [dpdk-stable] patch 'net/vhost: fix double free of MAC address' has been queued to LTS release 18.11.1

[Hideyuki Yamashita <yamashita.hideyuki@po.ntt-tx.co.jp>]

Hello Kevin,

Thanks for your answering me.

I understand that now my patch is queued to LTS 18.11.1.

I would like to ask general rules which kind of patch is queued
to LTS and which is not.
(If I CCed stable@dpdk.org when I submmit patch, it is automatically 
queued? If that is true then how (or where) can I watch the status
of my patch?)

The reason why I ask this is that from user perspective
I want as much patches be queued to LTS so that we can 
use LTS as stable one.

Thanks!

BR,
