Joe,

when you submit a PR, you will receive a message from GNATS
containing the number assigned to your PR. A reply to this
message would get added to the 'audit trail' or followup for
this PR, provided you take care of replying to GNATS
(freebsd-gnats-submit at freebsd.org).

This is the Reply-To from a message I got from GNATS:
Reply-To: FreeBSD-gnats-submit at FreeBSD.org, freebsd-ports-bugs at FreeBSD.org

A group-reply or list-reply would send the message to both
GNATS (the audit trail) and the freebsd-ports-bugs@ mailing
list (all PRs that are related to ports, i.e. that have
'ports' set as category in the PR, get CCed to this list).

When a subscriber from freebsd-ports-bugs@ replies to you,
the Reply-To would not include the GNATS address. If you
want your reply to this message to go to the
freebsd-ports-bugs@ list AND be included in the PR audit
trail, you can add freebsd-gnats-submit@ to the list of
CCed parties. Do note, however, that the message must be
related to a PR (the subject must include the
category/number identifier of the PR).

Regards,

Fernan
