Understanding what the 'Reply-to' field is for is not required in this
case, anyone who is willing to ask a question should just create a new
email making sure the 'To' field is populated with
[email protected]. In the case a question is meant
against a specific candidacy
just removing the current 'To' field from [email protected] to
[email protected] should be enough. I'll make sure to add the
'Reply-to' header myself next time, it slipped out of my head when I sent
the announcement out.

Although instructions are clear about where candidacies should be sent to
(that is [email protected] + CC on [email protected], the latter (as per
my follow-up at [1]) is not
really needed but won't create any harm. (for the next elections we will
just require candidacies to be sent to [email protected] with
eventual follow-ups and questions to be sent to [email protected])

That said the GNOME Foundation Elections and Membership Committee will make
sure to "parse" the proposed candidacies on both lists, we do suggest Emily
and Sriram to send a copy of their candidacy to foundation-announce as well
as a future reference.
