I have to adjust to different behavior for different lists as well.  On
the Debian lists, you are expected to reply to the list only, unless
someone sets their Mail-Followup-To accordingly, in which case your mail
client should do the right thing and CC them.

On the Git list, you are expected to CC everybody.  I personally prefer
the Debian strategy, as I read the list and don't generally need the
extra copy, but when in Rome….
