When Reply-To munging is off; it's easy from the MUA to choose between
single reply, and reply to all. When it's on, then *all* the mail goes
to the mailing list by default.

So if anything, Reply-To munging would cause more private mail go to
the mailing list (i.e. I typed 'r' in mutt, not 'g', but the mail went
to the ml!)
