It should be obvious that replies to mails sent to spi-announce should
hardly ever go to spi-announce.  You do understand the purpose of an
announcements list ?  It should have announcements, not discussions.

I agree that people posting to -announce should usually set Reply-To.

Neither of these is practical, because where the reply should go will
depend on what the announcement was and what the reply is.
