And do you think one mistake in probably 8-10 months of messages is
worth all the extra work/messages or lack of on list discussion the non
munged reply-to would cause is worth it? 

One person made a mistake, he owned up to it. Why do you feel the need
to play nanny here? Digium might well scrub it out of the archives soon
and had  J. Oquendo been really worried about it, her would have changed
the URL after his mistake. He also would have had custom URLs for the
different submissions so he could track the usage for each release.
