I'm a firm believer that mailing lists should do as little as possible
to modify the original message sent. This mailing lists doesn't add
Reply-To: automatically.

I add in Reply-To: on messages I send myself, as that is where I prefer
responses to be sent. Reply-To is used because it can be, should it be
necessary, overridden without too many contortions (unlike
Mail-Followup-To:).
