SF considers it bad:

This reply also got a good reply here:

Well, I wasn't aware that this was discussed here before. Actually I
don't think, this has to be discussed at all, as it's one of those
topics, where everyone has a solid, unchangable opinion.

Thus these are my last words on this topic: personally I'm strictly
against munging, the Lion's discussion may have showed one of the
reasons, we all don't use Outlook, so we in general have List-reply-to
functions in out mail clients, all SF lists don't munge, you cannot
carry a thread across alsa-user, and so on.  The arguments are
probably known without me having to repeat them.

So: *If* there is another vote in the future, count me in as
anti-munger. If not, well, then not.

ciao
