I think it's a broken requirement.
I am aware that it exists, and when I remember it, I try to follow it.
However, there are some major problems:
* The Debian lists are the only lists I have ever come across that mandate, or
even care, about such a thing. I have been on many lists in my time, and my
current list of mailing list subscriptions stands at 73. On every single
other list, this isn't a problem, and things just work.
* I don't know much about mailing list software, so I'm not going to be as
bold as to suggest I know what the solution is. However, on all the other
lists, I never get duplicate copies of email when people reply to me with an
unnecessary CC. Perhaps they are intelligently filtering out recipients from
the mailing list software?
* The Debian lists do not have a Reply-To header, meaning that by default my
email client wants to send replies to individual posters. To get the mailing
list included in the reply means that I have to reply to all. It's a very
easy mistake to make, not to remember to manually shuffle these addresses
around each time I want to send a follow up. Don't make me think!
Best,
