When is is appropriate to do a group-reply to the list?



A message was just posted to debian-devel and the author manually set 
mail-follow-to to debian-legal.  The author noted the changed in his
message.  I *always* list-reply to messages from lists, and in fact
have 'g' mapped to list-reply in my lists folder in mutt.
(G is group reply.)

If I group-reply, it replies to debian-legal.
If I list-reply, it replies to debian-devel.

How am I supposed to know when to group-reply instead of list-reply?
