Also, what happens if I choose to stay subscribed, but decide to turn mail delivery off? Well, I can send mails, but I will not get the replies.
So no, the drawbacks of Reply-To munging are not limited to non-subscribers.
If you subscribe to a list but opt not to receive emails from that list, you are not a member of that list's community and your desires and needs should not be catered to.
I think we have different definitions of community. There's definitely a Fedora community, but no fedora-users, or fedora-games, fedora-libguestfs, etc.; those are *mailing lists*.
Balkanizing communities based on which mailing lists the people are subscribed sounds to me like a stupid idea. It's in Fedora's best interest to have a community as unified as possible.
Or to put it another perspective; I think we only loose if fedora-devel ppl say: oh, you are from fedora-games, you don't belong here, we don't care about what you have to say.
