And I really like the way gnome-list does it.

In gnome-list or gnome-hackers, if I want to reply just to the author,
I can use `gnus-summary-reply' or `gnus-summary-reply-with-original' to
do that.

If I want my reply go to the list as well, I use `gnus-summary-wide-reply'
and `gnus-summary-wide-reply-with-original'.

On gnome-devel-list I must manually edit to "To:" line if I want to
reply only to the author - and I really hate manually editing header
lines if I can archieve the same with just one or two keys on other
lists.

Even worse, if I want to actually do what `gnus-summary-wide-reply' is
supposed to do I need to manually copy all "Cc:" lines from the original
post to my reply.
