I remember talking about this with Jason when the lists changed administrators, he pointed out a few things, amongst them: http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html
Note that most "considered harmful" articles are rather tongue-in-cheek

Yes, the term "considered harmful" is often overused and exaggerated, agreed.
More seriously, even Roundcube doesn't include such a button to reply to the mailinglist, so not having a reply-to header means that a lot of people have to manually check that mails go to the correct address.
Reply-all
generates lots of double copies.
I'm happy with "Reply" and "Reply all" buttons, but wouldn't mind a "List reply" one for detected/supported mailing lists (list-id set or something). If you like the idea really hard you (and the other supporters) could just set the reply-to themself. The list shouldn't mess with it (this is one reason to keep it that way) and your mails "just work" (tm) the way you like it.
I suggest that for pragmatic reasons the reply-to header should be set.
-1 from me. Nothing gained imo, only breaks stuff (like a personal reply..). I'd rather like it to stay the way it is.
