For WG drafts, the WG is already cc'd on the announcement - if you reply
to all the reply will go to the IETF announce group address (which your
mailer can't send to, and should just drop) and the WG mailing list.
It all just works.

For non WG drafts the secretariat would have to somehow figure out
the address to be inserted - the extra overhead of doing that just
isn't worth the bother - in many cases there's only the author anyway.
Anyone who has read the draft to have comments to send shouldn't find
it hard to extract the address from there and send the comments.
