Why should I care? It's not _my_ project the one with bug. It's not my
project the one that ends up in videos showing obviously wrong
behavior.

If it was, I would fix it, regardless of the attitude of some guy on
some mailing list. My users would thank me for it.

Perhaps, but that doesn't change the facts, and the direction zsh
development is heading to; oblivion.

If you don't care about that happening, by all means, ignore all the warnings.

Any reasonable person would click 'reply-to-all', which would keep me
in Cc, if your MUA is not braindead. And clicking 'reply-to-all'
consistently is the reasonable thing to do, because properly
configured mailing lists (unlike this one) require this.
