"This" being the idea that gmail has no way to detect that this
is a mailing list. There are a number of headers in each message
that show that this a mailing list and that the address is
debian-user@lists.debian.org:

X-Mailing-List: <debian-user@lists.debian.org> archive/latest/500826
X-Loop: debian-user@lists.debian.org
List-Id: <debian-user.lists.debian.org>
List-Post: <mailto:debian-user@lists.debian.org>
List-Help: <mailto:debian-user-request@lists.debian.org?subject=help>
List-Subscribe: <mailto:debian-user-request@lists.debian.org?subject=subscribe>
List-Unsubscribe:
<mailto:debian-user-request@lists.debian.org?subject=unsubscribe>
Precedence: list

Based on this gmail could add a "reply to list button", and if there
was a situation that required CCing, you could still use "reply to all".
A number of the better MUAs work like this.
