I'd like to council to discuss the current *$^&!! policy of
-dev-announce and -dev.  I'd propose to at least implement the following
behaviour such that I:
- don't have to see some mails 3 (!) times and many 2 times
- don't get lost where the mail is/was
- get broken threading because the original mail was sent to another
  list

Proposed behaviour:
Aautomatically send all mail sent to -dev-announce to -dev.
Benefits:
- any reply-to hackery for -dev-announce to -dev unnecessary
- being subscrived to -dev alone is enough (alternatively -dev-announce
  can be /dev/null-ed)
- threads are complete, instead of scattered over some lists
- multiple copies can be avoided
- cross-list posting can be reduced to a minimum
