Is it the best idea to add a reply-to header to the author on mailing list 
emails?
The problem I see is many people will hit reply in their email client which 
will create an email from them to the author, bypassing the mailing list.

This has also happened before when someone 'r'eplied to the author.

Unless they remember to manually alter the To: field to keep the conversation 
on the list, it wont be.

Was that the intent?

This (same-domain From: header and DKIM signature) is  DMARC damage control.

But why does that mean something *HAS* to be put in the reply-to header?

In order for us to be able to reply to the sender off-list, when needed, without manually editing address.

This behaviour is consistent with the former behaviour when headers weren't modified (and thus dkim broken).

reply goes to the sender
reply-all goes to the sender and list
list-reply goes to the list (MUA must support it).


AFAIK mailman does NOT change the Reply-To: if sender sets one.
