It breaks a valid use case. Consider a user not subscribed to debian-devel (for instance because she wishes to avoid all those useless flames). Said users sends a mail and actually wants CC. She therefore adds a sensible Mail-Followup-To, which is not honoured due to the presence of the broken Reply-To. The response is lost despite the explicit preference of the user. So what could be done indeed is to generate a missing Mail-Followup-To header on the mailing list server, as the server knows who is subscribed. I doubt that any mailing list software has such a hack implemented. Maybe fix your MUA instead?
