They are only mistakes in your mind. The normal way to reply is to use reply
all. This covers people who want to have their address in the recipient
headers so they can treat the message specially and people who are not
on the list. The mail-followup-to header is the way to say you want something
different.

No. Mailman has a feature where it checks the list recipients against
the recipient headers of the message and can skip sending a message
to those that are in other headers (if that subscriber has enable that
feature) assuming that they will be sent a separate copy of the message.

You are confused about what the feature does. It has no effect on the
archives.
