'Reply' means 'send back to where it came from' to me which is the mailing list in this case. Works the same with newsgroups. Very consistent in my view. So reply-to-munging adds this consistency. Having to use different reply-buttons just for a mailing list has, in the past, caused me to more than once send a personal reply to whoever wrote that article and deprived the other members of the list of my reply.
