Actually the list administrator has set the list to respect the authors wishes as to where replies should be directed. Not only that, he has arranged it so that when the author does not express a preference, the individual subscribers have the option of having a Reply-To: header field added.
I run about 20 mailinglists in total and all of them are set to set the 'reply-to' header to the list address.
As a mailing list administrator I would have hoped that you actually took the time to read the list welcome message. Quoting:
in both subject and body to: dev+options@lists.roundcube.net and follow the link in the reply message. Available subscription options are:
you receive from the list, directing replies back to the list instead of the message originator. Messages with a Reply-To: header field already present will not have it replaced.
Some people find this useful to (automatically of visually) sort mailing list messages.
if you want to temporarily halt your subscription (like when going on holiday) or if you want to be able to post from several addresses without having list messages sent to all of them.
