Shouldn't you be hitting the L key in mutt, for 'reply-to-list' instead of g for 'reply-to-all'... Especially considering that the code of conduct for the list: http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct says "When replying to messages on the mailing list, do not send a carbon copy (CC) to the original poster unless they explicitly request to be copied." Contrary to what the opt-out spammers would have us believe, a failure to request that you _not_ send me something doesn't constitute a request _to_ send it. I believe that when using the reply-to-list function, mutt will respect a mail-followup-to header and CC the person if it's specified. At least I know there's _some_ header that does the trick, because sometimes I hit L in mutt and voila, there's a CC in my reply.
