Actually, that's a matter of debate.  I happen to think it should - but
I think it should happen (and be configurable) at the MUA, not by
munging the reply-to headers. I filter my email by mailing lists.  I
should be able to tell my MUA that a particular folder is a mailing list
- by default, replies to messages in that folder should go to a list.

Unfortunately, Evolution doesn't seem to support any such capabilities.

Even more unfortunately, in my opinion, there is no hot key for "Reply
to List."  If anyone knows how to map, say, CONTROL-L to "Reply to List"
I'd be extremely grateful.

If MUAs operated properly, it wouldn't be an issue.  Of course, that's
"properly" as defined in the gospel according to me.  YMMV. <G>
