FYI: I'm a moderator of the dev@ list, and we've received about 5 emails from applicants that were not subscribed to the list. Initially, I rejected their messages, asking them to subscribe and send the email again. This has not happened from any of them. That's why I accepted new applicant messages now. However, this means that they won't receive email responses if we just reply to the list.
tl:dr: Please use "Reply to all" and make sure the applicant's email address is included when responding to any of those applications.
