No it is not.  It seems you also need to read
Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt

There are two ways to submit patches to the stable team:

1. send the patch to stable at vger.kernel.org _with_ the upstream commit
   ID _included_ in the message.

You can't get that until it's been merged into the upstream tree, so you
can't send it to stable at vger.kernel.org _until_ a maintainer has taken it
and given you the ID.

2. Add the Cc: tag to the commit and let it be picked up automatically
   by the stable team when it hits mainline kernels.

There are no other options.  Definitely Cc'ing the stable address upon
initial submission to the subsystem maintainer is _out_ of the question.
