I would argue that it has never made sense to send things to two lists, but nowadays it is an active annoyance, because when people reply to both lists via emacs-devel, it ends up creating multiple bug reports. (I'm looking at you, "In CVS Emacs, calc-eval gives multiplication higher precidence than division", which has given us bug 914, 915, 918, 920, 921, 923 and 924. So far.) If you really want to do this, the way to do it is to send mail to the bug list _only_, with an "X-Debbugs-CC" header that points to emacs-devel. Then emacs-devel will get a copy with the bug report _number_ in. This is all explained in admin/notes/bugtracker and at http://emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com/Reporting. Thanks.
