[jira] [Created] (INFRA-8870) ASF mailing list request form - Reply-To text is unclear

Sebb created INFRA-8870:
---------------------------

             Summary: ASF mailing list request form - Reply-To text is unclear
                 Key: INFRA-8870
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-8870
             Project: Infrastructure
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Mailing Lists
            Reporter: Sebb


The web form for creating a mailing list says:

Replies
----------
|_|  Set Reply-To list header?

If checked, replies will go to the same list. Except for lists named commits, which will direct replies to the corresponding dev list.
------------------
It was not clear to me under what circumstances the box should be unchecked. As I did not want the replies to go to the same list (for notifications@commons) I unchecked it, and added information in the Notes box. On further reflection it was probably wrong to deselect it.

It would be helpful to explain when the box should be unchecked.

For lists other than "commits", how does one specify a different destination for replies? For example, "issues" replies are better sent to "dev".
