I also posted this to meego-community:

The lists were originally configured with reply-to author as the default, but I 
was asked to change the mailing lists to reply-to list by several key people in 
the project. I've had several requests like this one, and I agree with changing 
them back to reply-to author, instead of reply-to list. 

I'll make this change (reply-to author) in about 24 hours unless someone can 
convince me otherwise.
