Replying as top post makes traking things harder. I assume it could be because Mark is receiving ML posts as summary. Or copy&pasting from web ML archives like I do for dev-commits-* MLs. For me, basically sbscribing with regular per-post receives, but dev-commits-* ML has too many posts to handle locally. (IIRC, previous ML server linked threads even for such kind of posts.) But if anyone replies to my post CC'ing me, my reply to it can be "properly threaded afterwards". And basically my posts to dev-commits-* ML are for anything needs urgent fixes or reverts, otherwise, filing PR. (If I have patches, sometimes opening review on Phablicator, too.)
