Though I don't think

   "The sole purpose of the mailing list is served only when the emails are sent on 
the list"

and I don't like much statistics (percentage of other uses here), I tend to 
agree with you Aditya.

I rarely answer directly to a person before exchanging with her/him and then 
sending to the dev ML.
And when I do that I simply use "Reply All" and remove the dev ML before 
sending.

I must though say that I'm lucky to use Thunderbird which has the "Reply list" 
button (not OOTB IIRW).
So I'm able to never send a respond to dev ML, AND other people, in much cases.

But at the moment those who have not a such functionality at hand and want the 
same (reply only to list) must manually change things.
It's a bummer when you have other more important things to think about and do.

Do we need a vote here to temporarily adopt the not optimal solution (as in 
INFRA-18478), Mathieu?

And should we create a specific thread to decide on what do as optimal (ie 
based on a consensus or even a vote)?

Please refer to the links I posted above as food for thoughts, I copy them here:
