Note that I requested this feature for Mailman a while back. I'd like to
use it for the "checkin" mailing lists that I run. Send to checkins,
respond to the discussion list. Currently, my CVS automailer just inserts
a Reply-To:, but it would be nice to have it directly on the mailing list
itself. (view it more as a Followup-To: for mailers, rather than Reply-To
munging)

In this particular case, I think the "patches mailing list" would be a
self-contained list discussing a *patch*. Sure, it could certainly migrate
to python-dev when appropriate, but I think the majority of the discussion
should stay on the patches list. Otherwise, we'd just be spamming the -dev
list as if the patches list didn't exist.

Cheers,
