FWIW, all the postgresql lists default to no reply-to:.
Note the postgres lists allow nonmembers to post (after moderation) which
means that you really do want keep people cc'd unless that set
mail-followup-to to ssay they don't. Also, once upon a time there was
a long delay in mail sent through those lists and keep the principals
in a discussion copied you could get things done a lot faster.
The real reason in the pgsql-* lists is not for the non-subscribed
users, but the suscribed ones that have the nomail option on in there
majordomo account, so as they don't recieve mail from the mailling list,
but they can send as they are suscribed, the only acknowledge is to send
them a copy of the mail to there account.
The canonical way to respond to mail lists has always been a 'reply-all'
since originally they didn't modify the reply-to: header and enough
still don't that it would be a problem to keep track. But new mail list
users often complain about getting extra copies in their 'personal' mail
due to the CC: list that is added, or they use 'reply' on a list that
doesn't force responses to the list and they get lost or accidentally
become private conversions so the rest of the list doesn't get to see
the solution.
