If the lists have their own Gnus groups, I think the simplest solution
is to play with the corresponding group parameter to-address (and
broken-reply-to if needed). See:
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/gnus/Group-Parameters.html

Else writing a custom replying function might be needed but I don't
think there exists a predefined funtion to check if a message is from
a mailing-list (checking List-Id and X-Mailing-List might be enough,
though).
