I sent the email via KNode/gmane, AFAIR there's no way to set a Reply-To.

I did set the following header but seems like gmane didn't convert it when
finally sending the email (I'm not even sure if it is supposed to do so):
Followup-To: gmane.linux.debian.devel.general
And yes, it was a way to say "don't reply neither to -release nor my email
address, only to -devel".
