Well, I'm not a develper but I am a user and it's inconvenient to have to copy and paste into a New mail dialog with the proper needed address in the To: line.
If you change it back I guess that's the way it is but as Inkscape grows and if this is the only way to work with folks "in the know" then users will not appreciate the inconvenience of having extra steps to take in order to reply to each post that have interest in knowing more about.
You might in the future want to set up a Developers and a Users mail list and in the Users mail list supply the direct address instead of having the reply to sending it to the last person that sent the responce to the mail list. Not everyone likes to have their mailboxes full of people that they don't know. I use MailWasher on WinXP Pro and if I don't know them then they get added to the "blacklist" which bounces the mail back to the sender!!
Just my 2ยข
