While your instructions to use Reply-All is correct, your assertion that
the lack of a Reply-To header is uncommon is merely your opinion, and in
my experience is simply not true of the other lists I use regularly.
There are very good arguments that Reply-To is not appropriate for lists
to use (Mail-Followup-To was the suggested replacement but hardly any
mail clients support it):

I don't want to get into a fight over it, so suffice it to say that this
list's policy is that Reply's go to the the original poster and
Reply-All will include the list as well.
