Sorry, sure.  The basic problem it solves is that many people read the  
commits list (in particular) only infrequently.  They post frequently  
due to commits, and having them in the CC line makes them notice it  
faster.  I was manually cc'ing the person I was responding to on a ton  
of emails.  I consider this to be silly and took mailman's advice of  
not forcing the reply-to line.
