Chillax, it's Christmas (or the seasonal celebration of one's choice)! :-)

Even without having to submit a patch or knowing the full ins and out of
Mailman's DMARC mitigation, it strikes me that Steve's request was a
reasonable one. It would help for non-standard behaviour to be more clear.

That said, the mail list *does* seem to work as Steve wants. At least it
does for my mail client (Thunderbird). On a message posted by someone
posting to the list from a p=reject DMARC domain:-
When I click 'Reply to List' the reply goes to the list.
When I click 'Reply' the reply goes to the message's 'Reply-To' header
contents which is the poster's personal email address.
When I click 'Reply All' the reply goes to everyone mentioned in any To,
Cc or Reply-To header.
