I know some people here prefer their personal email address to not
appear in the ‘To’ header when replying to them and the mailing-list but
that's a personnal preference that can/should be defined only by the
sender of a message not the administrators of a mailing-list. [1]
Please configure your email client to add the ‘Reply-to’ header
accordingly, but let others have different preferences. :-)
I think if we are doing communication on the mailing list, its good to
have mailing list address in reply-to irrespective personal
preference. We can ask infra for the same.
I will answer to you by using a citation from
<http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html>

Some administrators justify Reply-To munging by saying, "All responses
should go directly to the list anyway." This is arrogant. You should
allow me to decide exactly how I wish to respond to a message. If I feel
a public response is justified, I'll hit the "g" key and tell Elm to do
a group-reply. If I believe a private response is more appropriate, I'll
use "r" to send one. Please allow me the freedom to decide how to handle
a message.

Please read the arguments provided by this short article. I hope it will
let you understand the drawbacks of what you are proposing.
Thanks.
Then we should ask what Infra was doing before and discuss about it.
I hope that we will find a consensus and in the process discover why this
changed recently. I like the way it worked so far

Ah, I just tried something and I think I got your point.
You don't want to have to manually put the email address/es you want to respond
to by hand.
And when I try to answer to myself to the message I answer here, I can only
answer to the ML.
On the other hand, some months ago (in 2018 IIRW) I dropped the Reply to button.
It was because the behaviour then changed.
And it was easier then for me to have only a "Reply to list" and "Reply all"
buttons.
Since then I use that and it's OK with me. I just have to remove now and then few email
address I don't want to send when using the "Reply all" button.
And using "Reply all" for your last message I answer not only to you, but also
to Deepak, Aditya and the ML.
So I clearly miss a "Reply to" button in this case (If I want to reply only to
you).
OK we need to clarify this with Infra, your link should help.
We should discuss it before exposing our conclusions to Infra
My 2cts
