But I think you're left with the same problem. List users are forced to
become more list-savvy. 

If people are having trouble remembering (or even knowing in the first
place) that they need to "reply-to-group" instead of "reply-to-author",
how is adding a "reply-to-list" button going to solve the problem? 

Don't get me wrong, I use evo's reply-to-list all the time, it's great,
but I don't see how it solves this particular problem for a list that is
supposed to be inclusive and inviting.

Don't you have to tell mutt in the .muttrc that you are subscribing to
each list to which you subscribe in order to get the reply-to-list to
work? That's one of the reasons I stopped using mutt several years ago.
(but maybe that's changed in recent times?)
