As for ALSA list too, because for some threads several developers could be  
involved, that perhaps do not follow each mail to those lists. For LAU  
it's an advantage to Cc privately, because mails often don't come through  
the list, there's no other list I'm experiencing this issue.

However, usually it's not wanted to Cc privately, it's common to send to  
the lists only.

It's not an issue for me, but indeed, the settings for LAU are odd and  
absolutely uncommon for mailing lists.

Again, I feel fine with it, but IMO it's understandable that some list  
members don't like the list's settings to handle this issue.
