It's still list policy to use the Reply-to-all button, so we don't have
to pay attention to who is subscribed.  If you don't want duplicates,
then the filtering should be done by you (not by the sender) - either
you should write your mail with a Followup-to: header that lists all the
addressees but omits yourself, or you should use mailman's option to
suppress messages going to you via the list when you are listed in to or
cc (but be aware that mailman2 has a bug that when you enable the
duplicate suppression, mailman rewrites the list version of the email to
strip you as an addressee, so followups by anyone else that uses
reply-all will not know that you were an original recipient, and you
will still have to play games with threads that are not either
fully-to-you or fully-to-the-list).

Weird. I don't know if fixing findutils to use gnulib's nstrftime() will
still need to pull in -lpthread on that platform; if so, that will be a
gnulib patch to write. I guess we'll find out, once someone contributes
the fix to use nstrftime in the first place.
