That is not what reply-to is intended for.

Ha, you do a reply (r/R/whatever) to get back to the author or an
*followup* (f/F/...) to get back to the list:)) So check your mailer
how to do a followup...
Ok, I see you guys want to avoid to get private responses. I don't
[1], sometimes that is exactly what I want.
Yes, I understand that many people don't know how to handle their
mailers (no offense), and some mailers are crappy in that respect, but
setting reply-to in listbots generates at least as much confusion as
it helps.
Suggestion: You could filter the different cygwin-mls into different
folders (you probably do that already) and then tell your MUA to set
your *individual* reply-to depending on the folder you are in. [2]

Footnotes:
[1] I know, I get way less replys from the cygwin lists and then they
are intended for me, not the list, whereas some of you guys have
to suffer from people that think an individual is of more help
than the list (that individual is actually reading:).
[2] I can tell you how to do that in Gnus, but I assume that many
mailers do have similar functionality by now.
