Edison,

I'm fine with CC'ing someone specific when I know that I need their
attention, but two caveats that I'm worried about are:

1 - I find myself often needing the whole community's attention, for
VOTE threads or release planning updates, etc...  I struggle to
understand how folks want to see this.  I thought that VOTE and ACS41
would be sufficient headers for people to actually pay attention to,
but it appears to not be working.

2 - If someone starts a thread, I would expect that they would
actually pay attention to that thread!  I've seen times when people
start a thread, but don't respond to queries from others in the
community.  This is especially vexing when the thread is about a work
that's in progress.

Thoughts?
