Juha, that is because those other lists set the "Reply-To" header to
themselves, in the belief that it reduces confusion for users who
are using inadequate email clients.

However that is a misuse of that header (because its purpose is for
the writer of the email to specify a different email address of their own
where they prefer to receive replies they want replies to go), so this
list does not do that.

No, the deficiency lies in gmail.

Gmail does not do any list detection.

Gmail offers only "Reply" or "Reply-to-all" capability, like those other
inadequate email clients I mentioned above.
