Try setting the following variable (added to Oort in the past few
months) to t, I think that will do most of what you wish:

,----[ C-h v message-wide-reply-confirm-recipients RET ]
| message-wide-reply-confirm-recipients's value is 
| t
| 
| Documentation:
| Whether to confirm a wide reply to multiple email recipients.
| If this variable is nil, don't ask whether to reply to all recipients.
| If this variable is non-nil, pose the question "Reply to all
| recipients?" before a wide reply to multiple recipients.  If the user
| answers yes, reply to all recipients as usual.  If the user answers
| no, only reply back to the author.
| 
| You can customize this variable.
| 
| Defined in `message'.
