It's really not that broken - the Ubuntu lists are weird in that they
don't set Reply-To to the list address, and people consider using
Reply-To-All to be spamming them.

On most mailing lists either the list sets Reply-To to the list address,
or (more commonly) users don't mind getting 2 copies of the message
because they filter one copy into the list folder and one in their inbox
so the threading is preserved for both provate replies and replies to
the list.
