I asked Chris to make this change (but on IRC, so I guess it wasn't visible on the list). This matches what we do for cfe-* and one really nice benefit of getting in the Reply-All habit is that the reply goes both directly to the sender and to the list. The problem I perceived was that LLVM is getting so much traffic that it is quite easy for people to miss replies to commit messages (i.e., review feedback) unless they get the message personally. - Daniel On Wed, Aug 19, 2009 at 1:08 PM, Tanya Lattner<lattner at apple.com> wrote:> > On Aug 19, 2009, at 12:57 PM, Jakob Stoklund Olesen wrote: > > On 19/08/2009, at 21.50, Anton Korobeynikov wrote: > > Hello, Jakob > > I have done that too recently.

The basic problem it solves is that many people read the commits list (in particular) only infrequently. They post frequently due to commits, and having them in the CC line makes them notice it faster. I was manually cc'ing the person I was responding to on a ton of emails. I consider this to be silly and took mailman's advice of not forcing the reply-to line. -Chris

It's kinda annoying to have to delete messages twice. -Dave
