I don't know offhand, but I don't think that capability is in place.

Yes, matplotlib-users is the right place. I assume you intended to "reply-to-all" on that last one, so intended it to go to the list. Apparently the settings on this list are unusual in that one must explicitly "reply-to-all"; it is not automatic that one's reply goes to the list.
