I think a correct way to implement this is as follows.
When a user subscribes to a debian mailing list, there is a configuration page
somewhere on the web where he can go and set his preference whether to munge
reply-to address or not. Depending on his preference, from then on everything
should work as the *user* expected.
I have read both the for/against arguments of reply-to munging. If the choice
is given to the user, then it would be the best I think.
