Yes. And previous versions had a suse "hack" that modified "reply to all" 
to reply to the list instead.

Quick answer: it will not happen, don't bother to ask for it.
It is intentional.  >:-)

Detailed info: search the mail archive, faq, etc. This has been asked 
hundreds of times here.

- From the old list faq - retrieved in 2002:

Q2.  Why do my replies go to the original poster and not the list?
A2.  We do not "munge" the mail headers by inserting
     a "Reply-To: suse-linux-e@xxxxxxxx" because it makes it more
     difficult subscribers to handle the mail the way they want to.
     Your mail client probably has a "reply" function as well as a
     "reply to all" or "reply to list" one; Please use the latter if
     you want you message to go to the list and not just to the
     original poster.

     Also, please don't complain about this on the list, it has
     been discussed many, many, many times in the past already.

Anoher version, 2004:

Q8.  Why do my replies go to the original poster and not the list?
A8.  We do not "munge" the mail headers by inserting a
     "Reply-To: suse-security@xxxxxxxx" because it makes it more
     difficult subscribers to handle the mail the way they want to.
     Your mail client probably has a "reply" function as well as a
     "reply to all" or "reply to list" one; Please use the latter if
     you want you message to go to the list and not just to the
     original poster.  Likewise, there is nothing stopping you from
     inserting your own Reply-To header with procmail.

There are several hacks to "solve" it on your side.
