This list, mutt-users, does not use a list-id or other common-way to
mark emails as mailinglist-mails. If you want to list-reply, you have
to enable "subscribe mutt-users".
Correct me if I'm wrong.

I think this annoying because I no longer can see the name of the
author in index-view but have to open the mail.

I wrote a mail to the maillist-admin, with no reaction following.
