1 It has come to my attention that "Reply-To" Munging is not a good idea
2 to have on mailing lists:

7 From: Marco Fabbri <spiff1281@×××××.com> Mailed-By: gentoo.org
8 Reply-To: gentoo-user@l.g.o
9 To: gentoo-user@l.g.o

11 and when I click "Reply" ("Reply to all" option does not exist for
12 Gentoo mailing lists) it automatically replies to the list rather than
13 the author of the thread.

15 Who is in charge of the mailing lists and would be the best person to
16 suggest this to? Should I send this to a different gentoo-* list?
