(Get the code!)
FYI, from what I understood from the patches (please correct me if I'm wrong):
It looks for the List-Post: header (which all mailing lists I checked have, including Mailman), and uses that to decide to show the "reply list" button instead. The other reply variations are still available as drop-down menu, see comment 155 ff for specs. If "reply list" is clicked, the backend code (comment 80) will read the List-Post header and post to the email address given there. This is the entirely correct and perfect behavior (and more than I hoped for), thanks Peter McCurdy and Blake!
Blake: as far as I can see, the code leaves the "reply to list" dropdown menu item (in contrast to the button) always enabled. I think you'll want to disable that, because the backend code then can't do anything meaningful, as it looks for the List-Post header which is not there. I think it falls back to normal reply, but that's then redundant in the UI and irritating result.
