Please read the archives.

The list is not the originator/sender of any particular message and hence 
should not be the subject of any reply or reply-to. Therefore it follows that 
it is not the list's responsibility to set a reply-to header pointing to 
itself.

It is the mail client's job (or the list subscriber to be more precise) to 
direct a reply to the appropriate place and not the list's responsibility to 
second-guess where a reply should be directed.
