No, there's no such thing on emacs-devel.  Members of emacs-devel
receive the message, of course, but if you post and you're not a member,
you won't get a copy of your message.

You'll get a copy of your message if you're registered to bug-gnu-emacs,
just as is the case for emacs-devel.

I think this "we" is meant to say "we, mailing-list members, should do
that when replying", not "we, mailing-list administrators, have
configured the list in such a way".
I guess the wording is ambiguous.
