IMO, when sending to a mailing list, the address of the list should
normally go in "To:". "Cc:" should be reserved for cases where the message is intended for some individual but it is thought the mailing list might
be interested to hear about it.

more often than not it's appropriate to Cc a list, since To is often used for recipients who are expected to act on a message and Cc used for recipients who just need to be aware of the content of the message. it's rare that you can expect an entire list to "act on" anything.
