I tend to agree.  Consider, however, that the larger a list gets, the
longer it takes to get replies that only go through the list.  I think the
reason perl5-porters has no reply-to: list is because of that fact.  It
could take hours to get a reply otherwise.

But I don't think we have that problem here, except for when there is an
outage somewhere (mail server, network, etc.).
