Ah, yes, the reply-to worked great.
I use the Mac Mail app, which lacks a reply-to-list feature (as far as I can tell). So, without a reply-to in the header, I have two choices without manual override: reply sender (omits the list) or reply all (includes both sender and list). Of course, I can tailor my headers before I send, but it honestly never occurred to me that this mattered. Now that you point out your filtering strategy, it's obvious. In any case, by putting in the reply-to, all is better.
Keeping in mind that others are likely using a similar filtering strategy, I will try to pay more attention to this in the future.

Hi,

PS: I’m subscribed to the list, no need to send a copy to my private address.
This is typically done to alert someone that he/she has been addressed directly in a discussion. I for example have my filters set in such a way that all ghc-devs mails are automatically marked as read unless I am CC'd.
if someone really needs urgent attention from me, putting me in CC is fine: Mail directed to me will cause popups and land in my Inbox. But doing so carelessly makes this distinction useless; for example with the recent pattern synonym thread, I once made a minor comment and got a dozend mails explicitly sent to me. This is alerting thing is clearly not working – and I am tempted to the opposite of what you do: Automatically delete any mail reaching my inbox that also goes to ghc-dev (and stop whining here).
But before doing that, I’ll try using the Reply-To header, let’s see if that works better.
BTW, does everyone know about Reply-To-List (sometimes calle Group Reply, Ctrl-L in evolution) instead of Reply-To-All? But I heard rumors that Outlook does not support that, and – unlike in the Debian community – that would be a problem. I guess Reply-To can help then.
