You assume that all maintainers are currently paying attention to the
list anyway. I'm pretty positive that very, very few are actually taking
time to read through hundreds upon hundreds of messages that arrive
daily. I will be blatantly honest and say that I filter them all to go
to /dev/null. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone.

=> no QA (by your definition of QA)

Now, with responses actually going to the main list, I'll be 100% more
likely to see responses to my commits.

=> a lot more QA (by your definition of QA)

I'd like to have the dedication and will to read through all of the
commits, but currently I have neither, and it's unlikely to change,
sadly.
