That's my method of persuading Gmail to reply to the list, but it also
requires that I remember to delete all the other recipients and
move the list address into the "To:" field.

Agreed. The polite etiquette on this and many other mailing lists
is that you are expected to edit the big quote down by deleting all but
the minimum required to give context for a reader who might
not have read any prior messages. As I have done in this message
for example.
