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
foundation-list@gnome.orgaccordingly. In the case a question is meant
against a specific candidacy
just removing the current 'To' field from foundation-annou...@gnome.org to
foundation-list@gnome.org 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 foundation-announce@g.o + CC on elections@g.o, 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 foundation-annou...@gnome.org with
eventual follow-ups and questions to be sent to foundation-list@gnome.org)

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.
