Rimmer was 100% assigned the responsibility of repairing the drive plate that released the neutron blast that killed the entire crew of Red dwarf.
However, in all fairness, everybody on the ship knew that rimmer was incredibly incompetent and assigning him such an important responsibility was a failure of command, so the real person who killed the entire crew was whoever ordered rimmer to do the repair.
Lister was already in stasis at this point so he literally could not be responsible for this.
Fair enough, it’s been 20 years. I just thought the need for the repair was caused by the cat, which would have been Lister’s fault for sneaking the cat on board in the first place.

The cat was already stored safely in the cargo decks at that point.
They have released more seasons. I think they’re up to season 13 right now? And some of the later ones are pretty good. Definitely worth a rewatch.
I don’t know if it’s still there but I got to watch it again recently for free on tubi.
