Hi Sean!

It's expected per configuration here:
https://github.com/sashiko-dev/sashiko/blob/main/sashiko.dev/email_policy.toml#L138
.
It can be configured to reply to all as well, but since there are some
very vocal anti-AI folks in the community, this might create some
friction. In any case, I'm relying on the corresponding maintainers'
decision on how they want to configure Sashiko.

Thanks!
