On the dovecot mail list, the user can CHOOSE whether or not reply-to 
mangling is used. So, the best of both worlds. I believe they are using 
mailman for the list server.

I understand there are technical reasons (mainly to do with the ability 
of list admins to have their own separate passwords) that you don't want 
to use mailman, but these problems are all solved by the up and coming 
mailman3.

So, my proposal is to DEFER this decision until after mailman3 is 
released, migrate the lists to mailman3, then simply document how 
individual list subscribers can choose their poison.

I'd also suggest that the DEFAULT be to enable reply-to mangling, and 
explain to the user how they can change this in the welcom emessage that 
is sent.
