This could run and run I think..

I've not seen any suggestion to only include someone in the reply to 
their email if they request it. Typically the sender will be in the To: 
field, and the list will be in the CC: field, but it's apparent Ubuntu 
mailinglist has been incorrectly configured to set Reply-To, which 
prevents that from happening when I hit Reply All.

CC'ing doesn't bypass any of my filters, perhaps you need to check your 
configuration. e.g. Thunderbird calls the filter option "To or CC"

You'd need to speak to the people who maintain your mail2news gateway. 
There are obvious workarounds for gmane not supporting what you want, 
like subscribing from a noreply at yourhost.com email address. Or simply 
configure your client to delete any list email you receive if you never 
want it via that route. I'm not fond of workarounds like this myself, 
the issue should be tackled for all users who want the feature.

Cheers
Jon
