Reply-To: is a human-only header, to indicate where replies to the author 
should go, not where replies to the list should go.  Mailing lists are 
supposed to set List-Id to indicate the mailing list reply address, which 
this one does.  Modern mailers (save for gmail, which Google would prefer 
you use Google Groups for such use) have "Reply-to-List."

All of OSM's lists are also carried on gmane.org as 
gmane.comp.gis.openstreetmap.*

I suggest you investigate your options rather than expecting the lists to 
do something that doesn't comply with accepted best practices.
