Why does this list apparently use the original From header of the
poster’s message and doesn't set a Reply-To header at all?
1. Traditional standard practice. Doing otherwise in either case would
offend more people than sticking with the hands-off approach.
2. Inertia. For whatever reason, the choice was made in the misty past
to use qmail & ezmlm for Apache lists. These are de facto orphanware
programs that have licensing hostile to anyone seeking to adopt them.
Backporting features into old software takes work and testing, and no
one has seen it as worthwhile to do so for any DJB-ware as far as I
know.
Hitting reply sends the response to poster directly and DMARC failures
occur when posting to list. Not very elegant.
Really? Not that I see:

Note that changing the From header would break all DKIM signatures and
forcing a Reply-To would break many.
