It sounds like a hue and cry to change it to me!  It looks like it's
time for a BDFL Pronouncement.  I pronounce:

Given that:

- we all know how to mail to python-dev;

- replying to the sender is by far the most common kind of reply;

- the mistake of replying to the sender when a reply-all was intended
  does much less potential harm than the mistake of replying to all
  when reply-to-sender was intended,

the reply-to header shall be removed.
