No, a proper mailing list doesn't set reply-to, because it overrides the requests of the incoming mail (which may have had its own Reply-to). All modern mailreaders that I've seen have a choice of "reply to sender" (personal) vs "reply to sender and to/cc" (public). A mailing list should not add "reply-to" to force both of those to be the same, because all too often, we get what just happened (twice).
*That's* what I mean by evil.
GNUS has a setting to "ignore evil reply-to", but then for the half dozen people on this list that set a personal reply-to, I don't see them.
No mailing list should set reply-to. It breaks things. It's against the nature of the header.
