Right next to the Reply-All button, there is a small carrot pointing down. If 
you select that, and then "Reply-All" you will reply to both. So this 
functionality does exist in roundcube.  Not saying thats perfect, but it's 
there.

You say, that when someone adds their own Reply-To in roundcube settings, 
somehow they intent to have replies go to both the list AND that address. Why? 
I would say they mean that all replies should go to just that reply-to address. 
 Seeing as we already dont agree on what it's supposed to do, you can count on 
people wanting different things from it :)

Mailman doesnt. This is a conscious decision by the list owner. Read this:

http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-admin/node11.html

Especially read the second sentence. Trust me, this isnt the first time this 
discussion has been done. It is a constant and endless difference of opinion. 

And I also want to point you to this sentence:

"When you set this variable to Poster, no additional Reply-To: header will be 
added by Mailman. This setting is strongly recommended."

Here you see that Mailman ITSELF recommends not adding the list address to the 
reply-to.  The reason for this is that people dont want to get 2 replies of the 
same message, something you seem to want. You're in a minority.   

Anyways, im not even sure the mailinglist software sets the Reply-To here, or 
if RC does on reply.
