TL;DR specifically because gentoo-commits can only be emailed by the
bots, and not everybody is on the other list anyway.
infra/cfengine.git:
commit 2d1156486f8f09ed4747a61d194928b05fdc974f
Date: Fri Feb 4 01:51:31 2011 +
It sets the Reply-To to be gentoo-dev@lists.g.o AND the change
committer, on the basis that:
- developers are NOT required to subscribe to gentoo-dev@ (that's why
gentoo-dev-announce@ exists, which is mandatory).
- Not every committer is a developer: the script is used for many repos,
not just repo/gentoo.git
