If I recall correctly, it's easy enough to direct simple replies to the
discuss list (Using the "Reply-To:" header) in the list configuration. 
The notify list is already moderated, and if we don't direct replies
elsewhere, it'll add to the (quite modest) load of moderation.  Am I
missing something that would complicate this, Eric?
