14 bots, and not everybody is on the other list anyway.

16 infra/cfengine.git:
17 commit 2d1156486f8f09ed4747a61d194928b05fdc974f

20 It sets the Reply-To to be gentoo-dev@lists.g.o AND the change
21 committer, on the basis that:
22 - developers are NOT required to subscribe to gentoo-dev@ (that's why
23 gentoo-dev-announce@ exists, which is mandatory).
24 - Not every committer is a developer: the script is used for many repos,
25 not just repo/gentoo.git
