I suggest you remove any individual addresses of EG members and reply
only to jpms-spec-observers.  That way EG members who want to follow
threads on the observers list can do so by subscribing to that list
(in addition to spec-experts), while those who don't can just stick
to the spec-experts list.

To make this more obviously the default I'll configure the observers
list to insert an explicit Reply-To: header.
