Just so you know, bug-groff (like groff-commit) is not intended to be a discussion list; it exists to lets users see all email generated by the savannah bug tracker concerning groff bugs. So Branden redirecting discussion away from bug-groff isn't a personal preference; it reflects how the lists are set up to work. If you look at the bug-groff archives (http://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-groff/), you'll see that almost every subject line begins with the telltale bug number that savannah prepends. The only exceptions in recent months are your emails. During Werner's tenure, I looked into (http://lists.gnu.org/r/groff/2018-11/msg00014.html) getting the list software to automatically reply to any non-savannah emails, directing the sender to the bug tracker or the discussion list instead, but never found a way to configure this in the web interface.
