No vger, just stable+whatever@kernel.org.

These serve two different purposes:

stable@kernel.org (goes into devnull)
stable@vger.kernel.org (actual mailing list)

Confusion happens all the time, unfortunately.

Notably, even if someone uses stable+noautosel@vger.kernel.org, it won't 
do anything terrible (it won't bounce, it'll just quietly go into 
nowhere because that's not a valid expansion command).
