Hi,
(Not sure why, but, when using "Reply to all" in Gmail, it doesn't
actually reply to you (or Cc you), only to the mailing list. I had to
manually add your email back.)
I am sure why. DWH, please do not use mail-follow-up-to when
working with this list. It is rude and wastes people's time (like
the practice just did by stealing time from Christian).
Also cf.

I agree with this, but shouldn't this be written in some kind of mail
etiquiette guideline? Along with a rationale.

Good idea to write this down. How to use the mailing list is only
sparsely documented. The following files talk about sending to the
mailing list:
1. README.md
2. Documentation/SubmittingPatches
3. Documentation/MyFirstContribution.txt
4. MaintNotes (in Junio's “todo” branch, sent out to the list from
time to time as “A note from the maintainer”)
2, 3 and 4 mention sending Cc to everyone involved.
2 is about new messages.
3 and 4 specifically talk about keeping everyone in Cc: in replies.
Both in the context of “you don't have to be subscribed and you
don't need to ask for Cc:”.
Please also note, that mutt sets the “Mail-Followup-To:” header by
default for sending to known mailing lists, unless “followup_to” is
set to “no”. Whether or not it removes the sender address in this
header depends on the list address to be known to be subscribed to
or simply known to be a mailing list. It also does not set this
header if no recipient address is known as a mailing list.
