Personally I think it's fair to punt that determination to the stable
maintainers: if it's a bug that existed in a previous release, however minor,
and you or someone else cares enough to cc: qemu-stable about, it's a
reasonable *candidate* for consideration.
Factors like whether it breaks guest ABI, migration compatibility, is too risky
a backport, etc, should be considered, but if unsure it's fine to punt to stable
and let the filtering happen there. If it's rejected/problematic stable should
provide a response/reason and the discussion can go from there.
Perhaps this may need to be revisited in the future if traffic to qemu-stable
becomes unwieldly but I don't think we're there yet.
