Well, it was not clear to me, at least.
It's obviously possible that I misread your words: I apologize, if this
is the case.

I heard all sorts of things about Mail-{Followup,Reply}-To headers.
Some claim that one of those two headers are the Right Way™ to ask to
be in Cc on replies, and the other one is the Wrong Way™.
Some claim the same with swapped roles for the two headers.
Some claim that neither work as intended, and the request should be
explicit in the message body.
In all this uncertainty, I got used to follow the last strategy
(explicit request in the message body), since my MUA of choice
(Sylpheed) does not handle the above mentioned headers in a practical
automated way.
I am sorry, if this created any problems to you.

I suppose you are referring to a GR (as explained in the Debian
Constitution, section 4).
As you probably know, I am not a Debian Developer.
Hence I cannot propose a GR.
I thought that the only things I could do were: either persuading you
to change your mind, or, failing that, pointing the issue out to other
Debian Developers who may feel the same as me.
That's why I started a thread on debian-project and debian-legal...
I hope this clarifies.
