This of course is the reason that David Sheehan keeps replying to
petsc-dev, despite numerous requests to move it to petsc-maint.
The literature on why this is bad is plentiful.

I know many mailers are broken and don't have proper "reply-to-list"
functionality. I know this isn't the first time this has come up, and I
understand that turning off the munging might cause more problems than
it fixes, but I'd just like to point out the situation.
