Only if the list manager is dumb enough to replace an existing
reply-to:, and thus overrides the explicit request of the email's
author.

I fear those who anally bash standards which don't discuss the problem,
let alone address it, and those who try to address a common problem will
never come to an agreement.

This is one way to ensure consistency locally:

:0 fhw
* ^List-[a-z]*:.*opensuse-factory@xxxxxxxxxxxx
| formail -I"Reply-To: opensuse-factory@xxxxxxxxxxxx"

Btw thanks to Felix Miata for a beautiful argumentation!
