And has been pointed out to you already, prefixing the subject line is a pain in the neck! If done WELL, it's okay (several lists I'm on do it). If done BADLY, however, a dodgy email client (like LookOut) turns it into a right pain in the neck.
As for making the list the default reply-to, I'm on lists that do that. And on MANY an occasion, I've decided that I can't be bothered to fight my email client to try and send a private reply. So because the list has been wrongly configured, the poor guy with a problem has lost out because I don't want to reply to the list, and can't reply to him. Oh - as for the "de facto standards working better than the published standards", your "de facto" standards are MS standards which work well with MS software. You're on a GNU list, with a majority of GNU people, using GNU software, that works very well thank you with the published standards. No surprise there, because it was designed and written to do so.
