To me, this seems like more of a question about clients people are
using. For me in Thunderbird, it's an easy difference between "Reply"
and "Reply list". I think it would make sense for a reply to go directly
to the sender and not the list. But I'm not sure if this is how other
clients render / display it.

But even then, I guess the worst case, like you said, is a public email
accidentally goes private, and you can resend it publicly, as long as
the person is aware that they did so. It still stands that this could be
confusing for someone who isn't familiar with mailing lists or is using
an email client / web portal that isn't friendly with mailing lists.

Just my 2¢ for consideration.
