That's possible, though in reality people will reply to dwm@ or wmii@
and the others won't see it, which is why having one list to keep
track of the discussions is better, where dwm@ and wmii@ are aliases
for the same. In the beginning I'd even go that far to have the commit
logs on that list as well.
