This is raised about every other year or so, but for the immediate future
I'm still inclined to keep the reply-to.

Aside from the reply-to issue, cross-posting to multiple lists is somewhat
dangerous and confusing in and of itself.  Most lists (including PLUG) are
going to drop posts from non-subscribed individuals, which means the only
posts everyone in both communities are going to see are from people who are
members of both communities.  That being the case, it's probably best just
to pick one of the two lists and hold the conversation only in one place.
