My experience is that lists which do set the Reply-To field gets riddled 
with private messages, which are quickly followed up by an apology, and
of course six people stating that the message probably was erroneously
posted to the list.

Then there are cases where one wants to set the Reply-To: field,
e.g. vote taking and such.

I think no default Reply-To is the lesser evil (although it matters not
much to me, since I can tell Gnus to do away with duplicates, as well as 
pay attention to lists with agressive Reply-To behaviour)
