Seems the mailing list is not configured the reply-to variable to the
mailing list by default.

That is normally considered a bad idea, although this list might be an exception <http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html>. I have certainly made private replies on list on ones set to reply to list. It also doesn't necessarily work. I forced it on a reply I made and the OP still replied to me.

Another thing that is normally bad practice, but can be essential on this list, is to CC the OP.

What makes this list special is that most people posting to it have never used a mailing list before, and they are nearly all unsubscribed. Many think they are talking to some Pidgin support contact centre. As a result, they don't see replies that are not CCed to them and they think that anyone answering is their personal support person.
