I know.

I don't run a mailserver of my own, so this is how my sieve filters are
configured at the moment. It has almost never been a problem, except for
when people reply to too many lists with the announce ones as well.
However, I'll look into fixing my sieve rules (thanks to the hint from
bremner).
That said, my point still stands, and the replies that have nothing to
do with announcements should not be sent to that list. It is not about
best practice, but rather about following the the etiquette.
Best,
Nilesh

The mail was not delivered to the announce list. In fact,
debian-devel-announce directs all mails with an In-Reply-To: header to
debian-devel.
So while it's best practice when replying to make sure you're sending to the
right address, the fact that it winds up in your announce imap folder is a
local configuration issue, not a question of where it was sent.

Please keep replies to email sent on debian-devel-announce /
{debconf,debian}-announce
off those mailing lists. They are supposed to be only for announcements,
and nothing else. It's quite annoying for me to see replies to announce
emails on that kind of mailing list, and subsequently get into my more
important (IMAP) folders.
I'm also saying this to you explicitly because I've seen replies from
you on annouce mailing lists on more occassions than this one.
Thanks.
