Both statements are contrary to my own experience.

Obviously _you_ won't see any issues.

People should not have to "request" this.

AFAIK the policy on GNU mailing lists has always been "reply-to-all, and
do not assume people are subscribed." Works fine for me. Mailman has
optional duplicate suppression, and so does any decent mail client (eg
Gnus).

This is especially true for a bug list, where there should be zero
expectation for any correspondent to be subscribed.

I'm actually slightly surprised that

https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Mail.html

does not mention this.
