I have one item that I would like to see addressed in the next possible council meeting: The reply behavior of gentoo-core messages. What's happening is that gentoo-core appears to have no default Reply-To header set. This issue I feel needs to be addressed for two major reasons: Firstly, with no explicit Reply-To address, most mail clients default to replying to the sender of the message. This means that, for people who use such clients must manually replace the To: address in their reply composition. Unfortunately, there have been prior instances of a dev accidentally replying to the -core list on -dev. This means that the conversation intended to stay private and internal to Gentoo suddenly is in the public eye and many archives. This will inevitably occur if such behavior is not resolved. Secondly, every other Gentoo mailing list that I am subscribed to (g-dev, g-devrel, g-gwn) adds a Reply-To header which instructs the dev's MUA to default to replying to the list address, rather than to the individual sender of the message to which they reply. Unfortunately, gentoo-core is the only list which does not follow this behavior. I would appreciate the council voting on making this behavior consistent: Force gentoo-core to add this header, or remove it from the other mailing lists.
