This list was changed about a year ago to do exactly that, mainly because users mailboxes where bouncing messages which started causing severe mailing loops. Thus the decision was to change it so that you had to explicitly change the address yourself, thus guaranteeing that any bounces that occur, will bounce to the author rather then the list itself.
Some interesting reading on this subject.
