Thunderbird sometimes proposes to "Reply to list", in addition to the usual "Reply" and "Reply all". As I understand it, some email addresses are recognized as mailing lists, and thus the option "Reply to list" is proposed.

My problem: some of the lists I use are not recognized as such, thus the option "Reply to list" does not appear. Is there a way to (manually) tell Thunderbird that a specific address is indeed a mailing list? In other words, is it possible to tell Thunderbird that when a_specific_address@some_domain.ext appears in the recipients, the button "Reply to list" should appear?

No, it is not possible. But I recently read a bug report that seeks better reply behavior for mailing lists
