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.

I agree. Note that you added a very important condition: you or someone else *cares enough*.

The question under discussion is: can we define a kind of breakage that *any* maintainer should care enough about, and add a Cc: tag when committing the fix? How wide would/should that definition be?

Anyone else that "cares enough" can propose additional patches, even if the maintainer didn't tag it for stable in the commit. The maintainer should give their opinion when that happens, but that's not a part of the process that's under question.
