But almost everybody sends their replies only to the list. Just like you did. In fact, our mailing list code of conduct[1] explicitly requests that one not CC the original poster unless explicitly requested. I could be wrong, and I don't have any data to back up this claim, but I doubt most people seeking help from the community know about that requirement. Even if they do, I suspect that most of us will, out of habit, ignore their request and send replies only to the mailing list. FWIW, -devel and -user are at about the same volume these days.
